Good lord! Keep them clean and the problems you experienced are minimalized. I live in Minnesota and know first hand what the winter does to a car! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at those pictures and see that 1. those are not "expensive" wheels and 2. those wheels show years of abuse and neglect! So lets not rag on the tire guys because I'm sure they didn't put the other 8,000 chips in your wheels (those are just the ones I can count in the photos).
I kept/keep my factory aluminum wheels clean and I pound the weights on the inside and the outside. I had over 250,000 miles on the Honda and they looked like brand new!
