It only sticks to the driver side wheel. And if you clean it which takes forever b/c the brake dust is stuck on it. And I don't want this to happen to our new LTZ 20'inch Wheels when we put them on we are replacing these wheels because they look horrible with all the brake dust stuck to them. And it's only stuck on the driver side wheels not the others!

I would say that the brake caliper is sticking.

Are the pads on that side wore more than the pads on the opposite side?

The pads are the same on both sides. They need to be replaced, but this was doing it before they started to squeak. But I thought it was just b/c of the cheap break pads we bought. But I'm afraid that If I get new wheels this would happen to them and I don't want that to happen!

I see brake dust on both sides. Change the pads! Also, you can clean that off fairly easy with a spray-on wheel cleaner for aluminium wheels and a good brush.

You should see brake dust on both sides haven't washed the car in about 4-5 months. Was planning on cleaning it last week but it was too cold out. We've tried the aluminum wheel cleaner and that doesn't clean the drivers wheel at all. But it makes the passenger side wheel shine. But the driver side wheel you can't b/c some of it is actually stuck onto the rim itself.
