Consumer Description

BENT RIMS. EACH RIM ON THE VEHICLE HAS/WAS BENT, POSSIBLY DUE TO DEFECT IN THE RIM MATERIAL. I AVOID MOST POTHOLES, SO THE BENDING WAS NOT CAUSED BY HITTING LARGE HOLES OR LARGE OBJECTS. THE BEND ON THE RIM CAUSES THE AIR PRESSURE TO GO DOWN OR A FLAT TIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEAR TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. ALSO THE TIRES ARE WEARING VERY FAST DO TO LOSS OF PRESSURE. FOUR NEW RIMS WERE PURCHASED AT THE PRICE OF $1100, BUT THE HANDLING OF THE CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN AFFECTED FROM THE SUSPENSION TO THE BRAKES.*AK
