Make sure you paint the lugs on the hub or else your going to get rust dripping through the lug nuts on to the wheels. FYI!

Paint the studs so rust will not come off them and out the holes on the end of your nuts.

I would use a wire brush to clean them good and then put some flat black rust proof paint on the ends where it shows.
