How will these hold up in the Winter months?

How will the Black Mirror Machined and/or Athracite Machined Finishes hold up to the salt and abuse during the winter months???

I am possibly considering either of these wheels. Also, does anyone have pics of these on trucks? Thanks.

for best results, very important to clean them often! of course, that's any wheel. good choices.

I was thinking the same thing. I have someone that really wants to buy my stock 20's and tires so I am looking into aftermarket wheels and M/T tires (I do not want to have to swap wheels for the winter months). This way I can buy the bigger M/T tires that I want as the stock tires look too small with the truck up higher now.

Only thing is, I am having a hard time finding aftermarket wheels that I really like as I do like the look of the stock 20's but I want M/T's, not the Pirelli Scorpions. The stock Pirelli tires are only 2 months old so I can't justify new tires on the stock 20's already.

Any thoughts??? Just wait and replace the tires down the road, or sell the stock 20's and buy aftermarket wheels with M/T's now.

i can't stand the scorpions AT (IMO). they are about the whimpiest looking all terrain tire out there. how about having some fun and smoking the hell out of them, then you'll NEED new tires!!!

I brok edown and ordered a set of the 20" MB Predators. They arrived today (ordered them Tuesday night) and all that I can say is WOW! I think that I made the right choice as I really like them.
