I wonder why the previous posted said he has problems from road salt with the spare wheel..... but not his other 4?
Last spring when I was about to rotate I found that the center cover set bolt was oxidized to the point that was damn near close to not backing out. However the four on the ground were no problem. Also noticed that the Faux bolts on the spare were in way worse shape than the other four. When asking the place where I purchased them they said that they had seen that happen before. Surmised that due to the spare not getting the action or constant rinsing from contact with the road that the road salt collects in crevices and causes more damage. Anyway I'm using a cover this year to see if it helps though I am not a fan of the look either wheels are expensive and I'll do what I can keep them looking good.

If you have aftermarket wheels then I say let everyone see it. I have a cover on my spare, but they are the factory wheels, for now
