As far as the Sportmax wheels, I bought a set of them about 8 months ago for my daily driver Civic. Left them on all winter (admittedly not the best idea) but we have had very little snow here this year, therefore not much road salt. Nonetheless, the clearcoated outer rim area on all 4 wheels is now badly corroded, and even before winter had started I was noticing several spots where the clear had peeled off. Great looking wheel, but they don't appear to have a very durable finish. FWIW.

P.S. If you do go with the Sportmax wheels, be sure to buy a supply of the fake rivet head thingies. I've lost two so far in eight months.
