Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Defective alloy wheels on my 2000 mitsubishi eclipse gt: my car has merely 16,000 miles in over 3 years of use and 3 of the 4 wheels are slightly bent to noticably bent. i was walking around my car with someone when he noticed a significant bend in one of the rims. the front right wheel is obviously bent and vibration is felt through the steering wheel at highway speeds. i have regularly maintained the air pressure in my tires to avoid this problem, yet it has happened anyway. the wheels are unacceptable.
