Does GM warranty chrome wheels?

Possible winter salt damage?  Conspiracy theory here, Michigan is one of the largest salt mining states in the country, they ship salt to all of the upper mid-western and north-eastern states. So what's good for the Michigan salt miners is good for Detroit by speeding up the vehicle replacement cycle. There are alternatives to salting winter roads, I used to live in eastern Wa. state where they never used salt or brine on winter roads, sand and in later years they've used the corn based squirrel pee stuff.

That's what they should use. Salt is horrible for the environment and that new shit they mix with that because people can't drive for shit is eating out the bridges.

Unfortunately, due to the strike, I have no idea when I’ll get the wheels.

Before the policy change, I had two wheels (22") start peeling.  They were replaced.

 

After the policy change, I had one wheel peeling and they needed approval to "repair" the rim.  Took it in to get repaired, got a call an hour later saying that the peeling was too close wall (spokes?) of the rim and could not be repaired so GM replaced it.

The reason states use salt on roads?    Lawyers.

Wheels are getting replaced today. Total surprise.
