Unless you bought cheapos, they shouldnt rust for years, and I live in a place where they use a salt brine in the winter on the roads.

If you worried about rust and cost, the extra you would have paid for stainless steel you are now paying for a rust inhibitor and will do so for coming years and will eventually have to renew the nuts. backwards thinking πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ best advice, just return them and buy proper stainless steel

I know you can get different grades of stainless but I am always dubious using stainless for structural applications. It has different properties to high tensile mild steel. none structural I have replaced nearly everything with stainless, but would not trust wheel studs and nuts!

Definitely an argument, but these are pretty chunky nuts. What would think could happen at the worst?

Strangely I have heard of the World Wide Web.
If we had a couple of grand to buy expensive wheels then that would be a consideration, maybe.
We don't, so it's going to be a spray, paint or grease of some sort. Since I have a can of PTFE spray which I doubt will ever get used up otherwise then I will give that a go first.
