Hahaha yeah, but really. An aluminum wheel would be better since the Cragars are steel(I think), the winter won't be as harsh on them.

The cragars are steel correct. That's why I was considering them, I thought steel would hold up better vs. aluminum...

Steel rusts though... Aluminum just oxidizes or gets less shiny, if you get black aluminums you should be good.

Yes steel will hold up better. They wont have that oxidation issue either. But they are heavier and just not as good a alum
