Consumer Description

I HAD A FLAT TIRE. WHILE LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE I FOUND THAT IT WAS A CRACKED RIM. AFTER LOOKING AT MY OTHER RIMS I FOUND ANOTHER ONE CRACKED, BUT NOT LEAKING. I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY CORVETTE WITH THE Y2K STYLE, HIGHLY POLISHED, THIN SPOKE DESIGN RIMS. THE CAR HAS 59,000 MILES BUT THE CRACKED RIMS ONLY HAVE 55,000 MILES. THE RIGHT REAR WAS THE ONE WITH THE LARGE LEAKING CRACK, AND THE LEFT REAR WAS CRACKED BUT NOT LEAKING. THE FRONT RIMS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE CRACKED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE ORDERED FOUR NEW AFTERMARKET RIMS TO REPLACE MY CRACKED OEM GM RIMS. *NM
