    I don't really deal with snow salt, but after many, many beach trips and drives around the ocean it holds up pretty good.


    just depends on how much you tend to it

    I would sport the ones you have now and when/if you get sick of them, you can always get all 4 wheels powder coated for about $250 in almost any color you like ;)

    You're going to take a loss to get black/satin wheels that are very similar to what you already have? Why not just pay the couple hundred bucks and get a powder coat of whatever finish you want on your current wheels?


    Your current wheels look great, BTW.
