Default Steel wheels who's got em

Purchasing new wheels here soon. Just wondering out there who's got em and do you like them? How long do they last before they start to rust?

I like them
I run them in the winter. We don't salt the roads, we use mag chloride which is still nasty.
They are just whatever 4WP had in stock honestly.
I do try to wash my rig after every storm, though.

I ran steel wheels for years. Never had a problem with them rusting. My problem was bending them off road. Running aluminum now. No issues with these.
