I think that is just regular road grime from the looks of it from those studs in this pic but I could be wrong. Loose lugnuts are often caused by Magilla gorilla with the impact gun on full blast elongating the studs and not taking the time to torque them which may be the case here.

OK yes it is a sign of low torque or loose nuts, but it isn't about the rust itself, I was hoping someone would point out that the trails were going outward indicates water behind the nuts were leaking past the nuts itself, hence the spinning effect on the wheel.
The broken one, it is a violation but more likely than not if a cop saw it without a L1, it would be passed off - yes I have had this happen a few times. The reason I would be mainly concern is that it is sheered off, not just broken. I have had a bunch of broken studs on trucks thanks to the idiots with impact wrenches putting 600lb pounds on the nut and stretching it to the point it will break. -
Tough crowd in here today.
