Chromed rims in Winter

[H3.007]

I live in South Central PA, but I grew up near Erie. The winters here are not as bad as what we had in NW PA (snow belt and lake effect) but we still get some lake effect here. I had Eagle Alloy brand alloys on my Explorer. They didn't really corrode but stained. However, the aftermarket, locking lug set from Advance Auto did corrode terribly - and they wouldn't replace them. In fact, an employee told me that th majority of their metal parts are terrible that way (bolts, etc).

I wonder if should just run the wheels I have now and pick up a stock set for the winter or the opposite come spring? Hmmmm..... I have seen black wheels for sale through Eagle Alloy and American Eagle, etc. I wonder if these would corrode as well...

BTW - GAF Method?
