Best way to clean lug bolts?

I have a set of lug bolts I want to clean up, they look rather dirty from use. Lotsa grime and some light surface rust on the threads.

Thoughts??

I have a set of tooth brush sized wire brushes that I'm thinking would do the trick.

you can try brake cleaner spray and a wire brush..>>

if it's really bad you can always pick up some new ones.. they're pretty cheap

I use a fine wire wheel on my bench grinder. Works great
