CSL wheels question...

On option is to paint them black with Hammerite. They'll look smart then.
You can do it after you've bolted the wheels on if you use a small brush, straight onto the surface rust, doesn't take very long.

What I do is get an old shoe box or something and pop the bolts into the lid of it. Then you have a perfect platform for spraying them.

Just be careful when refitting them again.

I use the plastic locking wheel nut covers but they inevitably go missing when it comes to getting new tyres. My fault for only checking once I get home. I am not sure of the part number but I know they used to have BMW logos embossed on them but now seem to be just plain matt plastic.
