TRUCK CAME WITH OE WHEELS-16X7 STEEL/BRIGHT TRIM RING QUANTITY OF 4 PLUS SPARE. 3 OF THE 4 WHEELS HAVE CRACKS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED ADVERSELY NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN USED IN ANY OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS. MILEAGE IS DAILY DRIVING ONLY. MY QUESTION IS: HAS THERE BEEN ANY RELATED REPORTING OF THIS DEFECT OF THESE WHEELS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL OR DIFFERENT MAKE, MODEL, ETC.? SHOULD I CONTACT THE DEALER DIRECT OR USE MY INSURANCE CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT? IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME DIRECTLY, PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL. *AK
