| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Model: weld racing road hawk rims age: about 4 years old type: 2 piece aluminum rims i took a 400 mile, 1 way each, trip from san jose, ca to los angeles, ca and 2 of my 4 rims developed hairline cracks which leaked air... how can this happen to 2 of 4 rims? they must be defective... this is what i wrote to the rim manufacturer, weld racing, inc. i wrote to you last week regarding one of my rims having a hairline fracture and losing air from this cracks you replied with a typical 3 year warranty comment. i live in san jose and took a trip last week down to los angeles in my 1999 suburban having 1 rim possible, but on my way home on saturday, a 2nd rim developed a hairline fracture and also lost air from the fracture i don't believe this is just bad luck. 2 out of 4 rims developing hairline cracks just because i took a 800-1000 mile round trip ride in about 100-108 degree weather??? i understand the warranty policy but 2 out of 4 rims developing hairline cracks??? i bought my suburban used so i am not the original owner but weld racing should be concerned anyway about their products and the safety of them. if you not concerned, let me know and i will pursue the various bulletin boards, etc. and see if this is happening to others. *jb |
