Default lug nut question

My Volvo is only 6 years old! how can all of these lug nuts be rusted?
Bought it used, 1 owner, gate community. Can they rust this quick?
I noticed that they didn't have a lock nut, none of them? Are they that expensive to sell them off on Ebay or what? All 20 of them are rusted!

Bought the car off a lot weeks ago and really didn't pay any attention until now.

Are these aftermarket wheels? The Volvo OEMs should not rust.

Take them off and with a wire wheel clean them all back to nice. Then dab some grease on them and smear it all over then lightly wipe it off with a rag and put them back on the car.
