Of course if you don't have to drive in the winter, I doubt there is any trouble using any kind of rims...

quality aftermarket wheels, not $200 aftermarket wheels.
theres nothing magical about OEM wheel finishes, there are just some finishes that you cant use harsh cleaners on, whether its an OEM finish or aftermarket finish.
also, some aftermarket wheel companies make wheels for the OEM market as well. BBS for example makes some BMW wheels. Does that mean that those wheels like explode if you use strong cleaning stuff on them, but the ones made by BMW wont?
