driving on powdercoated rims in the winter

has anyone here that has used p/c rims during the winter.?
just wondering if the finish will get all messed up or am I stressing for no reason.
hate to put my stocks on for the winter,they will need new rubber.
thanks for the input.

The finish will be fine unless you ding them. Thats why PC > Paint.

powdercoat is pretty durable so, just don't let crap sit on it for long periods of time.

Powdercoating is very durable and you shouldn't worry at all about winter salt damaging a powdercoated finish. It's nothing like chrome....
