Does Coker make good Road Wheels that don't rust?

My Wheel Vintiques from 2011 rusted in a few years.  I need another set, and see that Coker owns them, along with Specialty Wheel.  Is Coker the only game in town now, and is the quality good?

If it's chrome plated it can rust in the right environment. Best way to prevent rust is preventative maintenance, use a wheel protectant or wax. Most chrome polish leaves a protective coating.

It's just funny that my 50 year old originals don't rust.

Ten+ years ago the Specialty wheel magnum was superior to wheel vintiques, but that was when the were in Portland and before they sold out to Coker Tire,

I used to buy their seconds at the puyallup swap meet. Then they moved to Tenessee and then bought out by Coker, wonder if they merged the two lines?

I still have the Specialty Magnums I bought 22 years ago and they the fronts have some seam rust. Also Im afraid some leaky brake seals that went undetected hurt them too. Im still using all of them, but bought second pair of 15x8s to run a shorter set of tires on.
