Rusty lug nuts

I live in a snowy northern climate and noticed during this harsh Winter that a couple of my lug nuts developed some surface rust on them. Anybody else have this issue and would repair or replacement be covered under warranty?

My car is only 2 days old and I have the same issue. Will report that to the dealer next week.

Its the fact of life with salty climate.....I would suggest you buy some replacement lugs from Costco (or other places where they are cheap) and use a set for the summer and when the fall/winter returns, place the rusty one.

Lugs would be the least of my worries. Wait until your fenders start to go. I rock different lugs for summer and winter.
