Consumer Description

WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 14K MILES ON IT MY REAR TIRES WE WORN BAD.SO I REPLACED BOTH REARS.THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO COME LOOK AT THE 2 BENT RIMS I HAVE.I ASKED IF HE COULD BALANCE THEM.HE DID THE BEST HE COULD.I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION WHEN PASSING AT H WAY SPEED AND AFTER A NEW ALIGNMENT THE CAR WONDERS ALOT.COST OF 2 NEW RIMS AND BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HAS PUT SAFTEY IN THE BACKSEAT. I AM VERY CAREFUL DRIVING TO AVOID POT HOLES AND PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS.REPORTS OF THESE RIMS CRACKING.HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.GM WILL NOT HONOR ANY REPLACEMENTS EVEN IF YOU HAD 100 MILES ON VEHICLE.VERY POOR DESIGN TO PASS FOR USA STANDARDS RIMS ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND DEEMED UNSAFE. I BET MY FRONTS ARE BENT TOO? WHEN MY TIRES NEED REPLACING THEY WILL BE CHECKED
