Consumer Description

THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL WAS CRACKED AT 5 PLACES AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE AND LOST TIRE PRESSURE, DISCOVERED BY COSTCO TIRE CENTER IN EVERETT WASHINGTON WHEN BROUGHT IT IN, IN AUGUST 2014, THINKING THAT THE TIRE GOT A NAIL. BMW SEATTLE DECLINED TO COVER THE TIRE BY WARRANTY STATING THAT I BOUGHT IN 2009 AND IT IS ABOVE 5 YEARS SO NO WARRANTY ON IT, I HAD TO BUY THE AFTER MARKET SET OF RIMS (VMR MODEL 701) THAT DOES NOT FIT TOTALLY WITH THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO REVERT TO USE THE ORIGINAL SET WITH A REPLACED REAR RIGHT RIM. I TOOK PICTURES AND SENT IN 2 DAYS AGO TO BMW AS THE SET OF RIMS I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR DO NOT REALLY FIT. THE ORIGINAL CRACKED RIM HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS SHOWN IN MY PHOTOS TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE RIM LOOKING OUT: THE ALUMINUM MATERIAL SHOW A RIDDLE IRREGULARITY AT SEVERAL PLACES. BMW CALLS ME TODAY TO RE-ITERATE THE REFUSAL FOR THE RIM REPLACEMENT.
