Cleaning lug nuts

Hey guys. I would like to know your opinion on how to clean lugnuts. They are pretty damn rusted on the surface.

Should i sink them into gaz? I know gaz can be used to remove rust. But can it damage the metal too? or is it safe

I just don't see the point of cleaning a rusty part that's just gonna keep rusting all over your rotors and wheels, new lugs will run u like $20
