quick question, i have an 2003 ex coupe and the car came with the si rims (alloys). weather here has been pretty rough (hard raining) and i was wondering if the rims can handle this type of weather? would it be a good idea to purchase some steelies if i wanted to keep my rims clean as possible?

thanks in advance
(btw, no snow/ice or hail here)

My rims made it through strong rains and snows. They have some coating on the surface, so it should be okay.

would the coating wear away eventually or could it take hard rain season?

Rims from the factory usually can withstand all season weather.........

Yeah Honda makes oem parts for all seasons. They don't expect people to swap off the rims during bad weather.

Yuup, and b/c of that, Honda rims are pricey, but strong!

ALLLLLL OEM wheels are made to withstand weather, they wouldnt be on the car if they didnt, just dont let salt sit on them for 5 months it will eat the clear coat
