Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S FRONT WHEEL ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET COUPE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN ONE OF THE SPOKES BETWEEN THE HUB AND THE RIM. THE WHEEL STARTED MAKING A PULSING SQUEAKING NOISE AS I WENT THROUGH RIGHT-HANDED TURNS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE CRACK SEEMED TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SPOKE. I CALLED CITY CHEVROLET IN CHARLOTTE AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I BOUGHT A USED OEM 2000 STYLE WHEEL FROM A FELLOW CORVETTE OWNER. IN THE MEANTIME, A SECOND SPOKE ON THE SAME WHEEL ALSO CRACKED IN HALF. *NM
