Replica SS wheels

One of my rims has had a minor crack in it for awhile. I keep a close eye on it. I pulled my truck out of the garage after sitting for the winter. The temperature changes have allowed the aluminum to expand and contract. end result I have a rim I can not drive on. Cracked all the way through. Time for a new set of GM SS wheels.

you can't just get one?
why do you need a whole new set?

Chrome is peeling and Discount told me a couple other wheels are out of round. The rims are 3.5 years old.

I've heard really bad things about the replicas... The 22" wheels seem to have even more problems... I know one here fairly locally to me that broke after hitting a pothole, then came apart totalling the truck...
