Consumer Description

THE WHEELS ARE SUBSTANDARD. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THAT A COMPARISON WAS DONE (DATELINE OR 20/20) AND THAT IT WAS PROVEN THAT THE WHEELS WERE BELOW STANDARDS. THE RIMS ARE VERY WEAK AND NO WHERE NEAR THEIR RETAIL VALUE. THE ALUMINUM ALONG THE EDGE WHERE THE TIRE BEADS IS FAR TOO SOFT. A SERIOUS POT-HOLE, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY IN THE NORTHEAST, CAN RESULT IN A BENT EDGE, WITH LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM.*AK
