Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE WITH STOCK 17" RIMS. IN THE LAST 4 YEARS, I'VE EXPERIENCED 4 FLAT TIRES AND NUMEROUS BENT RIMS FROM REGULAR FREEWAY AND STREET DRIVING. IT APPEARS THAT THE STOCK 17" RIMS ARE TOO SOFT AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO BEND EASILY. EACH OCCURENCE FORCED ME TO REPAIR THE WHEEL AND REPLACE THE FLAT TIRE. IT HAS COST ME OVER $2000 IN REPAIRS AS WELL AS AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF LOST WAGES FROM MISSING WORK DUE TO LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND REQUIRES ATTENTION BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK
