Road salt is going to be hard on any wheel finish. The main thing to do is keep them clean as much as possible.
The MB72 in the machined finish (this model is not polished) does have a clear coat which will help protect them. I suggest putting a good coat of wax on them 3 times a year as well to help protect them

So you think that mud, dirt, snow/ice, road salt, etc. won't be an issue as long as I wash them regularly? I wash my Jeep and keep it clean pretty religiously. I just remember some alloy wheels I've had before that required scrubbing and polishing with Mothers polish all the time to keep them shining and I got really sick and tired of that. I want a relatively low maintenance wheel. I want to be able to wash it with water and soap and that's ALL. That's why I've been staying with steel wheels in recent years...but the price on these MBs is tempting!
15x8 MB72 (matte black) - $99.00 each
33x12.50-15 DuraTrac - $188.00 each
Lug Kit - $45.00
Non TPMS Valves - $3.00 per wheel
Mounting - FREE
Balance - FREE
Shipping - FREE
Sales Tax - N/A to NY
Discounts - $40.00 OFF 4 new MB72 wheels
Discounts - $50.00 OFF JK member discount for purchasing 5 tires.

Well, I have 2 Kelly Safari TSRs sitting in my storage building waiting for me. I would buy 2 more and some wheels to put them on if you sold that brand. But, looks like it doesn't matter anyway. My credit for the promotions is being turned down. I can lease a brand new Jeep, but I can't get credit to buy wheels and a couple of tires? 
Um, ok. So it's a moot point now.

Questions.... will the Vision Warrior 375 15" wheel fit without any issues? How about a 33x12.5R15 tire on it since it's only 7.5" wide?

I haven't test fit the 15" tracker but they are available in a 15x8 with a -30mm offset (3.3"BS) for the JK. Here's a link: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...cker&typ=Truck

Specs look like the wheel should fit but I haven't test fit the 15" warrior on the Jk. I wouldn't recommend running a 12.50" wide tire on a 7.5" wide wheel. Most shops won't mount then and if you find one that will you'll end up burning through tires pretty quick. These wheels would be much better for a 10.5" wide tire at most. I'd recommend looking for something wider.
