Steel wheel ?'s


I'm looking at some black powder coated steel wheels. Anyone know if they will rust? If so, how long til they start rusting? What could I do to prevent rusting? Steel wheels: good idea or bad?

They would be 17x9 inches all around.

Steelies? they shouldn't rust as long as they don't get chipped. Don't V6s have rims though? Just paint those black or get something better than steelies (aka heavy rims)

Not steelies. Steel wheels. They have a design other than just normal steelies.

Naw, man. If they were for 4x4 they wouldn't be in 17's. I want some opinions bc I really think they will look good. Im not saying im gonna get them, but im thinking about it. How long until they would rust?
