How will these hold up to the winter salt?

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels, but I'm worried about how they will hold up to salt. I'm looking at the **** Cepek DC-1 in black, and the black Moto Metal MO951. Where I'm from in upstate NY, they really load on the salt, and I don't want end up ruining the wheels.
Also, any suggestions on good all terrain tires? I'm going to be getting some 33s and want some tires that are good in the snow.
Thanks in advance.

well anything can last if you take care of them.. wash clean wax.. if you do nothing to them at all during the whole winter than the salt will pretty much eat away at anything..

the best thing to do is find some cheap steel wagon wheels for winter and put the nice ones on for spring/summer and like illness said if you take care of them they will last... my dad is putting the moto metal 951s on his truck in summer and for the bloomsburg jambo they look pretty damn sweet on the 97 body style trucks
