Default Innovit alloys - rusty bolts anyone?

Sorry mods, I put this in here because styling is a bit quiet and a fair few have Innovit alloys.

The bolts that come with my innovit alloys are rusty inside. Has this happened to anyone else and has anyone found replacements or fixes for this.

Are replacing with new same or new different make?

Also, I guess this is tyre dependent, but does the out lip of the alloy stick out alot? Mine do and they are covered in little knicks from our driveway (Not drop curve so easy to clout )

Mine are the same (Tarmacs)

Bolts have gone rusty on the inside and outer edge of alloy does stick out a fair bit, (got 215's on as well, so didnt think this would be a problem)

Might replace mine, where do u get replacements?

My tyres are 215 too. I don't know enough about tyres but they seem a bit stretched over the rim - They also rub with people in the back.

Mine are ST IV. Don't get me wrong, I love my wheels (buggers to clean but love them) just have a few issues with them.

Mine only lasted about a month rust free, Chucked um in the bin and replaced with a lightweight set I got off a friend.
