Default how do you prevent wheel bolts and bolts on edge of wheels from rusting?

yes, you could clean and wax them everyday....

even those whom i know take excellent care of their cars begin to have rusting problems with bolts on wheels ranging from HREs to BBS.

so what is the best way to address this?

and once they begin rusting, how do you resolve this problem?

thanks!

Default Good wheel bolts shouldn't rust.

Our bolts feature a dacromet coating which helps prevent rusting.

Many cheaper bolts have a very bad chrome plating which quickly wears or flakes off exposing the bolts to the elements.
