that style was made by numerous wheel companies, they were popular in the 80's. most are copied from centerlines before centerline made street legal wheels. those rusty studs are ornamental, pressed in and can be removed. you could replace them with something that won't rust (stainless - that may be more costly that they are worth, unless you're really attached to them. i have some similar to that on my GTO, but mine have 5 big holes in the center section (Enkei brand), and my studs are made of aluminum, thus evading this rust issue.
