Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Normal wear and tear on alloy wheels should not result in the severe corrosion i have on my wheels. i don't know if there is a failure risk, because i am not a metallurgical engineer, but the corrosion is substantial. it looks to me like the clear coating on the wheel has trapped moisture and road salt, allowing the accelerated corrosion. i have emailed american racing and i have been ignored. *jb
