Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had three wheels break at the welds. according to woodalls magazine, there are hundreds. i have contacted continental imports, the firm distributing the wheels, and also u.s.wheel co. in california. i have had no response, from either party. these weld breaks begin with an air leak, and when pressure is kept up, the rim breaks loose from the spoke center, causing blowouts, trailers overturning and sway. there have been enough of them, that i think that they should be recalled, and replaced with a wheel that is welded on both sides of the center piece. *ak (tiresize: 225xr75x15)
