Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN AIKEN SC (YORK ST) I RAN ACROSS A MANHOLE THAT WAS BELOW STREET GRADE. IMMEDIATELY UPON SPEEDING UP, NOTICED VIBRATION. TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL TIRE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN CORVETTE TIRES AND THEY VERIFIED THAT BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE BENT. THEY WERE BOTH BENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AWAY FROM THE SPOKES. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH WHEN I RAN OVER THE RECESSED MANHOLE. GM DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THESES WHEELS SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL IF REPAIRED. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY TWO NEW WHEELS FOR OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET.
