Default Salt and my new wheels

I live in Upstate New York and literally can not wait to put my new wheels on, but there is still a little salt left on the roads. Do you think the salt will ruin my wheels? It doesn't hurt my stockies, but I think the factory wheels are made to withstand the elements better. Here they are, what do you think? I'll post more pics once I put them on.

RPM 505 hyper silver
19x8.5 front
19x9.5 rear
nexus n3000 tires 235/35 front and 265/30 rear
