How do KMC XD wheels hold up in the winter?

[2010_5thgen]

Im looking to do some new wheels next spring. Im concidering the KMC XD Hoss in either a 18x9 or 20x9 with a 37x13.50. not sure yet. And, if i get these wheels, I will be selling my stock wheels to help recoupe the cost spent on the new set. A buddy of mine told me not to go with a wheel with any polish because the salt will eat away at the clear over it and pit the wheels. So, im wanting the wheels in Gloss Black. Does anyone have KMC XD wheels with the painted finish that can let me know how they hold up to tough winters? I live in Canton, OH and our winters get pretty bad. But they always go overboard on the salt. so, any help is usefull.

next question....are these wheels powdercoated? Im guessing they are, but wasnt sure.

Not exactly sure, but XD apparently have some really good rep. I have some XD diesels i'm putting on this week, so we can be XD brothers if you get those!

my buddy is telling me that they will hold up better in the winter than the stock chrome wheels i have now. and these wheels have held up great. so if the powdercaot will hold up good, i may list my stock wheels for sale and buy these hoss wheels before winter.
