i have like a polished aluminum rim, i bought them used they were in good condition, i have been using them all winter, i just made sure to wash them regularly, like once a week or something just to keep the salt off, other than that it was fine, but low profile tires and snow = not fun :fustrated i got stuck more than enuf times and my friend with his snow tires just blows past me hehe so i dunno next winter for sure im gettin snow tires and letting the rims sit

I had my rims for 6 year now, never took them off in the winter, and they still look like new. But like Biggy said, I do wash them at least once a week in the winter.

One thing I don't understand is why so many people out there, when taking the rims off their cars in the winter don't use the hubcaps that came with the steel wheels? I see sooo many cars with just the blk steel wheels. What's up with that? It looks horrible.
