As can be seen in the photos not only are they rusting but the coating of the entire stud has not completely faded. As recommended by the seller, I installed by hand rather than with a torque gun/compressor. I've had a rotation of the tires since installation and asked to remove the nuts and install them the same way and I watched the tech do it. However, it still rusts and the finish looks terrible. Clearly visible when looking at the finish of the wheel.
