Yep, they're a little bit dirty at the minute though.

I won't be using my RXII's this winter. I'm still undecided whether I'll refurbish them though. I kept them on last winter though. I had no problems whatsoever.

Ideally if a decent set of G60's popped up for sale with decent 195/45s at the right price, id snatch them up straight away

Mine are already corroded

which is why I'm not worried about them being on over winter. To be fair though if mine were in perfect condition I would look for winter wheels.

As long as you don't damage the alloys (kerbing etc) and keep them clean then in theory they should not corrode. Its the winter salt on the roads that does it

Mine were refurbished in Feb time of this year before i bought the car in March. And they have done really well so far! Just make sure you give them a lot of attention.

I did recently buy some winter wheels, but then had to sell them on due to certain reasons. Ill no doubt still be on the look out, but heres a quick picture of one of my wheels after a bloody good cleaning earlier.

It was literally black before this! the roads are so bad this time of year

P.S I didn't take the wheel off the car to just clean it, they were took off because i was attempting the camber adjustment mission lol.

would it help if i keep them polished up over the winter months to prevent the salt?
