In owners' own words
At 9212 miles, my low tire pressure indicator came on. I took the vehicle to northwest tire, bismarck, nd. They removed the wheel and found that the rim was cracked. The vehicle is still under factory warranty, on 9-29-2020, I took it to the kupper Chevrolet, mandan nd. They inspected the vehicle, found no damage. Other than the cracked wheel. They called general motors for a warranty repair, which gm declined. Wheels · reported at 9,212 miles
I have less than 5000 miles on my 2019 Corvette zo6 and because of a vibration I had my tires and rims checked for balancing. I found out the drivers front and both rear rims must be bent that was detected on the balancing machine. I have not hit any potholes and have been very careful as this is my dream car. Of course I'm very disappointed especially after reading several other owners with similar problems! Wheels · reported at 4,500 miles
Purchased the vehicle with 7944 miles, currently has around 11,000. One of the tires was leaking air so had an auto repair shop look at all the tires and rims. THREE of the rims are cracked. I am not driving the vehicle for safety reasons. It is not safe to drive with a cracked rim. I did not hit any road hazards or pot holes. The rims appear to be defective and after 11,000 miles should not have damage. Wheels
