Around here the salt will get on em, and if you dont clean em often then they look like sh!t by the time summer comes around.

well i think thers sumthin bout them crackin if it gets real cold...I aint sure about that tho. How cold does it get where ur at? If it goes from warm in the sun to real cold at night you would hav problems w/ cracking.

ill give u a little advice if u dont mind i work at a tire shop we deal with rims tires and batterys and from my experiance any one who has left there rims on for winter time has ruined them then again i live in ny and they use a really strong salt(or atleast im told that lol)and after winter the rims are pritty much ruined and if ya want to do it all i can say is keep them really clean i would try and wash them 2 times a week but like i said thats just my oppinion

I totally agree Alan, I paid good money for my rims and I want them to be in the best shape they can be. Just the thought of salt getting lodged down in a crevice somewhere... bad bad bad!!

yea see thats what i was trying to say but didnt get to it,when ya try and clean the rims some of them have so many small wholes or what not to clean and its really hard to get every spot clean and not to mention that the inside of the rim is even harder and tends to be where rock salt sits and starts the corosion process and u know what happens from there because corosion=rims death :-(
