Consumer Description

THE MAGNESIUM WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE ARE DETERIORATING AROUND THE HUB. A LOCAL TIRE CENTER INFORMED ME THEY ARE UNSAFE TO USE. YOU CAN PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THROUGH THE CENTER. IF A WHEEL WAS TO BREAK UP WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE DISASTROUS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 1999 FROM RODMAN FORD, FOXBORO, MA THESE WHEELS WERE USED ON SALEEN EXPLORERS AND SALEEN MUSTANGS FROM 1994-1998 SO THERE COULD BE MORE OUT THERE WITH IMPENDING FAILURE.*JB
