| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 mitsubishi eclipse 17" rims - the rims are soft and bend easy. i had several incidents where i was left on the side of the road after hitting a pot hole as the rim had bent and created a flat tire. after owning the car for two years, i had to replace the rims as they were a hazard and creating driving problems. i bought off the shelf rims for half the cost of the mitsubishi rims and have not had a single problem since (2 years later). three of my four rims were in really bad shape from hitting the smallest of pot holes. when replacing tires, my mechanic would take the time to try and re-bend the rim to its original shape and mentioned to me that this was a common problem he saw on the mitsubishi eclipse model. *jb |
