Consumer Description
Right rear tire was not holding air. I took to shop to have the tire repaired. The tire does not have a leak. The steel wheel is leaking where it is welded together. I am concerned that this is a safety issue. I contacted Elite trailers. Elite trailers was not willing to address the problem. The wheel is made in China. The name on the wheel is Marco. I contacted Marco wheels and they were not willing to address the issue. My concern, if one wheel started leaking, are the other 3 wheels at risk of failing and perhaps causing a serious wreck ? I have a 5 second video showing bubbles from the leak. I'm not able to attach below because the file type isn't compatible.
