Default rust in lug nuts

A couple months ago I got some tuner lugs for my car.I put them on once and now the inside where the allen wrench socket goes to tighten them is rustin.Is there anything I can do to them to not do this?Normally it's like a 19 on the outside these you have a allen socket that go inside the lug and that part is rustin on the nut.

try spraying WD-40 in there and let it soak in for a few minutes.

then take off the lug nuts permenantly.

get some OEM lug nuts so this doesn't happen again.
