Default The lugs that came with my wheels are rusting any suggestions?

I'm looking for lugs that will fit OZ wheels and not rust. The ends are coned and I believe they are marked as 1.25".

I have McGuard lugs too, very nice. Everytime I wash them, they look brand new.

they wont be 1.25" (inch)

The marking means 1.25mm, that is the thread pitch. Its a 12mm X 1.25mm wheel stud on the subaru
