Best way to remove rust from 24 bolts wheel?

[blutow]

Is it best practice to paint the bolts after replacing? I just put all new hardware and now I’m worried it’ll rust

If you like the blacked out look, paint the studs and lugs flat black and you can touch up at will. If you like the raw silver/galvanized look, they should do fine unpainted. Particularly if you have newish studs that still have most of their zinc. I bought a set of 5 used 24 bolt wheels that were just sitting in the dirt/elements for a long time. Of the 120 unpainted studs, only a handful had any visible rust. A couple of the wheels had some significant surface rust that had to be refinished, but the studs were almost all good.
