Wheels and rims

Okay, I know the two are the same, mostly at least. But I've been looking for some replacement wheels for my little Ranger, it's an Edge model, so 15" or 16" would both work without having to do a lift, or at the minimum, crank the Tbars a bit.
I'm looking at some that have an anodized rim, with the centre of the wheel in black. I think they'd look good, but the longevity in this part of the world with our winters might beat them up. I have American Racing Outlaw II's on now, but they're 16 months old, and the clearcoat is peeling. Those would likely be kept as a set of winter wheels since I'll likely strip the clearcoat altogether, and either plastidip, or just paint them.
Anyone have any input on anodized wheels? Would they do better than clearcoat?
I've even thought about going back to an OEM wheel, but GEEZZZ, the price is unbelievable.KMC XD Series Bully Black w/Anodized Lip
