Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GSX WITH 17 INCH RIMS. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE THE RIGHT FRONT RIM AND TIRE AFTER THE RIM BECAME BENT DUE TO UNKNOWN REASONS AND CAUSED A BUBBLE IN THE TIRE, WHICH IF LEFT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A BLOWOUT AND POSSIBLE INJURY. SUBSEQUENTLY THE OPPOSITE RIM BECAME BENT AND I NOW HAVE THREE BENT RIMS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, AND KEEPING THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF A SERIOUS SAFETY INCIDENT. *JB
