most wheels are alloy or aluminum so they probably wont rust, but corrosion would be an issue. especially where they use salt during the winter to cover the roads.

Good job !!
I've been thinking about doing that on my MRR's during the winter months while I ride on the stock 18's.
Isnt there some kind of sealant you could use to further protect them from the elements?

These wheels do not come with a polished lip just brushed finish. I've had no problems with them.

I think he meant that the tire may be mounted wrong and/or installed backward. I think the sidewall rotational/directional arrow should be pointing forward and i think yours point point backward on your rear driver tire. I might be completely wrong, so a tire expert should chime in.

Yea I see, I think he just put the rear wheels on the wrong sides.
