SS fan, yesh, I had them rotated a couple of months ago, just before the snow started flying. There are some pretty crappy roads around Dayton, just saying. It could have been any of the 50+ pot holes or bumps I go over on my way to or from work, LOCALLY.. if it's a longer distance, triple that.

Chrome clad is basically a cover thats non-removable. If you look at the Chrome clad wheels, look close. The chrome portion is attached to a basic steel wheel. So check wheels that are "chrome clad", tap on the chrome clads and you'll feel a difference between those and the standard polished, or chromed aluminum. GM found a less expensive way to chrome more wheels then just getting the steel ones or alloys dipped..
And it is sometimes a plastic chrome....

I have seen these off the vehicle, they are most definitely NOT plastic covers chromed, or any variation thereof. These are what came on ALL shadow editions..
