You can clean the rust off the wheels and nuts with liquid toilet bowl cleaner. Make sure to rinse tham well after cleaning, and then apply some sort of wax afterward to protect, They will rust up fast if you don't...

Thanks. I need two more nuts and I'm having a heck of a time finding 3/4" to match the ones I have locally. I may have to bite the bullet and buy 20 13/16" nuts and swap them all out. The 13/16 nuts are sold everywhere. The 4 wheel locks can use 3/4" or 13/16" socket so not need to replace them.
I used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish & Rust Remover with a small brass bristle brush and they turned out great. I first used this stuff on a set of severely rusted up Craggar rims I acquired form my uncles junkyard in 1984 and haven't gone without it since. Only a couple buck at the parts store and a bottle goes a long way.
I got lazy on the lug nuts and just shined up the heads of the nuts.

BTW what torque does everyone use for their lug nuts? I've always used 100lbs of about everything, but read somewhere that 85lbs should be used for 7/16 studs.
