Consumer Description
ORDERED MY CAR AND PICKED UP @ BOWLING GREEN KY AS A FACTORY DELIVERY(AT CORVETTE MUSEUM) I HAD HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL BENDING AND CRACKING. HAD A TIRE GOING FLAT. HAD ALL TIRES CHECKED AND REBALANCED AT DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THEY WERE BENT. TALKED US INTO REPAIRING THEM. SHORT WILL LATE HAD TIRE COMPLETE FLAT ON THE DRIVE. TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEEL BENT AGAIN AND SOME CRACKED. THEY SAY THE ARE NOT PART OF THE CAR. NEVER SEEN CAR GOING DOWN THE STREET WITHOUT WHEELS. THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE AGAIN. I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS ON DEFECT WHEELS. I HAVE THE WHEELS STORED IN MY ATTIC IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO INVESTIGATE, THIS VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT ON THESE CORVETTES. I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY SO I REPLACED THE 4 WHEELS AT MY EXPENSE. GM DID NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS, OR NEW WHEELS.
