Problems with wheel studs rusting

Dlrooney3423 · 03-27-2020, 09:13 PM

Sorry to resurrect this thread came across it using the search function. I also have MSI bull nose studs which have become very rusty after 2 years. I was wondering what others have used to clean the rust off and get them looking better or better to replace?

Would you consider Sonax wheel cleaner an abrasive cleaner... because my Bimmerworld wheel studs seem to be rusting now.

Don't recommend anything other than soap and water.

The solution is inconel studs, no more rust/corrosion for life time.
