Default Rusty lug nuts

I picked up my car after having some Rota C8's put on the car and I found that a couple of my lugs are really rusty...just surface rust, but ugly looking nonetheless. Anyone know what is a good set of lugs that I can get for the car for a reasonable price? Also, these rusty lugs won't cause my new rims to rust will they?

Yeah, the Honda OEM's ARE nice...I guess I have to expect them to kinda get a little surface rust on them though seeing how it IS an 8 year old car. I might just go down to the dealership and pick some up...although I bet they'll cost me an arm and a leg.

A little secret to avoiding rusty lugnuts goes as follows:

-coat the lugnuts with clear nail polish on a yearly basis or every 6 months.

You will have shiny and corrosion free lugs all year round!

Yeah I know, clear nail polish works wonders, but I bought the car used so what can I do about it now?

So yeah, hopefully the local Honda dealership isn't going to want an arm and a leg for some new lugs.
