Consumer Description

GM'S STEEL WHEEL RIMS (PART NUMBER: STL08021U45 / BASE PART# : STL08021U ) ARE DANGEROUSLY WEAK METAL/ - THEY BEND VERY EASILY. I HAVE 3 BENT RIMS ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT. (THESE SAME MODEL WAS ALSO STANDARD ON 2007-2008 SATURN AURA, AND 2006 -07 CHEVROLET MALIBU ) I HAVE 3 BENT RIMS ACCORDING TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP - AND WAS TOLD THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I TRIED TO BUY REPLACEMENTS BUT WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON "HOLD" BY GM. NO REPLACEMENT. THESE RIMS ARE RUINING MY CAR BY STRAINING THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THE ALIGNMENT, AND TIRES, NOT TO MENTION JEOPARDIZING MY SAFETY AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CHEAP DANGEROUS RIMS! *TR
