Not nuts, but did notice I've got rust creeping into mount plate of brake disc, creating a rusty stain where the alloy meets it  |

Just thought Dan, are your nuts Chrome  A toothbrush to agitate the cleaner on your nuts might help aswell. Kev |

This happens on most Fiats, and Alfas and the like. They rust quicker if you use an acid based cleaner on the wheels such as Autoglym Clean wheels. So spill the beans, what have you been using? Luckily for non SS owners, their wheel nuts are covered by a nice little centre cap |

I have an Esseesse and my nuts went rusty within the first month or so, I got them all replaced by the dealer for free, as well as my Esseesse badge as it started to peel off. So far the new ones are rust free.

Maybe they started dipping them in some kind of galvanising solution?
