3/19/19 discount tire alerted me of crack in my passenger rear wheel 02/12/20 discounted tire alerted me of a crack in my drivers side rear wheel
I went out to my vehicle to drive it to work and saw that i had a low tire pressure warning. the pressure was 19 psi, and normal should be 30 psi. i inflated the tire to normal pressure, and a week later the pressure had dropped to 9psi. i took my vehicle to discount tire assuming i had a tire puncture, but after removing the wheel and tire they immediately detected a crack in the wheel. there was no damage to the wheel noticed during the most recent tire replacement at ~20.4k miles and the previous tires showed no damage from hard or sudden impact. no hard or sudden impacts have occurred since either.
I own a 2017 grand sport corvette and found a crack in passenger rear rim, picture is below. it is a known fact that there are too many crack c7 corvette rims and gm will do nothing about it. i was lucky and noticed psi in tire leaking and monitored, finally went to dealership where inside rim was cracked.
I took my wheels to a shop where they reported that all 4 had bent. in trying to repair them they noted that they wobbled when on a machine and that they seemed prone to being easily bent. also the black powder coating was inconsistent and easily chipped. i noted that others have reported issues with the grand sport wheels. repair cost is unknown, but i now am concerned with continued use of the wheels due to potential bending and cracking issues.
Wheel, made of aluminum, developed a crack on the inside of the right rear tire, without my noticing any reason. one day i just noticed that there was a slow lead in the right rear. america's tire wouldn't repair the leak and said i had to buy new tires. i did and the next day the right rear was flat again. i took it back to america's tire and they found the crack in the rim. the car had less than 26,500 miles on it at the time. the chevy dealer took pictures to verify for gm that there were no signs of the car being raced or abused, but gm declined to replace the rim saying it wasn't defective. the chevy dealer ultimately sold me a new rim ($1,000 on my car) and charged me $50 extra for a core charge as i wanted to keep the cracked rim so i can show anyone who wants to see it that there isn't any impact marks on the medal in the area of the crack, i.e., the rim just cracked. my car is a very expensive ...

My complaint centers on gm ignoring serious safety issues with cracks in defective wheels on their c7 corvette z06 and gs models potentially causing accidents, injury and deaths due to defective wheels. i was having my tires replaced on my 2017 corvette z06 by discount tire (txd56). manager informed me that right passenger wheel was cracked and will not be able to hold air and could not be repaired, only replaced. i took car to classic chevrolet - grapevine, tx. the service department confirmed crack but said that they were not allowed to make a decision on warranty coverage due to gm policy specific to corvette z06 and gs models. the dealer service department completed an inspection and included following comment: 996 c/s pass side rear wheel cracked. did pra thru gm and gm declined to assist customer. photos of the wheel clearly show the crack but no other damage to the wheel. i called gm customer assist center for further clarification. gm sr. advisor sent a voicemail and email saying that my vehicle was "out of warranty" ( which is not true, as coverage is thru dec 22,2019.) and that there are no defects to the ...
2001 corvette, passenger side front wheel has an approx 3" crack where the spoke meets the rim and runs from where the tire mounts to inside the wheel affected wheel loses 20psi of air per hour.
Loosing tire pressure and found both rear wheels were cracked 3/20/2019. dealer said i hit a pothole so they would not be covered under warranty. suspect it was because i drove in sport mode. since then, i have been driving in touring mode and found another crack today 11/25/2019. i don't recall ever hitting a pothole and driving conditions have been safe.
