| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 corvette i recently purchased from a friend of mine. while cleaning the car recently i noticed a small crack at the base of one of the spokes on my left rear rim. this crack had not been there previously. worried about the structure i went to a local tire shop to order a replacement. while there i noticed a 2000 corvette on the rack for tires. i went over to look at it's rims and saw that the left rear had 3 spokes cracked. i ordered a new aftermarket rim, mine are gm and went home. when i got home i rechecked the vehicle and now saw that the left had more fractures coming from the original crack, and now the right rear also had a crack at the base of the spoke. the car has 46,000 miles. the wheels have never been curbed and only one new set of tires has been put on at a reputable tire company. i checked on a corvette web site and got many responses of additional corvettes with the same problem. *jb |
