I'm in Chicago, and we salt the roads like crazy.

I would guess that oem rims will hold up pretty good. What about RJ's?

I could put my stock 16's back on, just curious.

Is the clearcoat on the RJ's pretty good?

Ron rode around on his 19s all winter, and they look fine. They may lose a little of the luster in the clear coat though.

I would put the stock wheels back on personally. Less chance of anything happening to the wheels from potholes as well.

I just ordered the Falken Koblenz...I'm planning on leaving them on for the winter. Hope they will survive also.

If you want to preserve your wheels, do not keep them on during the winter.
