no need for that one. two tone konigs are the BOMB. What size? Mine are on white, but I'm sure these will look great on salsa. ESP if you got tinted windows and some black around the car. Put em on some mid-pros and they'll look just dandy

Those wheels look good, and I usually dislike Konigs. They will look great!

They're gonna have a clear coat on them. Mine's starting to wear off, but my rims are three years old. Keep a coat of wax on them and most stuff will just wipe right off. For me, the easiest maintainence is PREVENTATIVE maintainence. Like I said...keep em waxed and they're EASY to take care of

Gravel is harder than wax and clearcoat. Do the waxing, anyway... it will keep tar and other glop from sticking to your wheels. Drive slow on the gravel to keep the rocks from chipping your wheel's finish.Since you live on a gravel road, what size wheel and tire combination were you thinking of getting?

If you run on gravel some, I would go 215/60 16. A little more clearance for your wheels, and the bottom of your Vibe.

Bridgestone Potenze is a nice tire. I had some on my S-10. Function well and mine lasted a long time. And they look schmexy too!
