Now when I get them I just wrap around them in tape, make sure I cover the threads that are going over the actual stud, then I spray a little bit of clear in there to keep them from rusting on the inside. Mostly just the tip of the lug that would be noticeable if it rusted.
Thank you for the advice sir, but what kind of tape if you don't mind me asking? And after how long will they start to show rust?

I just used painters tape around the actual outside of the lug.. so it didnt get any spray on it. Then I wadded up some paper towel to cover a majority of the threads on the inside so it didnt make them hard to put on. Leave about the depth of your pinky fingernail showing.. this is the part that will rust. Just spray clear in the open side, and let them all dry. If you dont do this, it will start to rust after only a few car washes
