What problems id you have? If you keep the 22's on in the winter it will destory the wheels if they are not cleaned and "waxed" , and this is not just Caddy or GM wheels, I see problems with many stock chrome wheels, and it's really pretty simple, the car manufacturers buy their wheels from the lowest bidder, so in this case the term you get what you pay for means something. In 2006 my neighbor and I purchased stock chrome 18's for our trucks from E-Bay for our 2007 Escalade's for winter wheels, I got two sets he got one, I had two 2007's at the time, my trucks get washed and waxed often, wheels included, my neighbor's truck get washed twice a year, my 3 year old 18" winter wheels still look great, even though they are in snow, salt and sand all winter long, my neighbors wheels look like they were dug up from the ocean floor, so care makes a huge difference even for the crappy stock wheels. If you use a good synthetic wax on your wheels this will help them hold up and look better longer.
