Consumer Description

I NOTICED A VERY LARGE DENT IN MY WHEEL WHILE WASHING MY CAR. I HAVE NEVER HIT ANYTHING BEFORE & I WAS WONDERING WHY SUCH A LARGE DENT IN MY RIM WOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITH NO DAMAGE TO MY TIRE. HOWEVER, MY RIM IS DENTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT MY TIRE BARELY HOLDS THE AIR IN IT. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR THAT MY TIRE WILL EXPLODE OFF OF MY WHEEL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW A HEAVY,METAL RIM COULD HAVE BENT SO FAR & NOT PUNCTURED MY TIRE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS VIRTUALLY A BRAND NEW CAR FOR ME & I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I SEE NO REASON TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT AT ALL SAFE TO DRIVE. *AK
