Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The driver side rear wheel on my 2002 corvette coupe has a crack in 2 of the spokes. i took it in to my chevy dealer (crest chevrolet), they took pictures and submitted a claim to gm. the gm rep. had the dealer take the tire off the wheel and see if the cracks go through to the inside and get the factory number off the inside & verify it was a gm wheel. the dealer service rep called me and said gm agreed to pay for half the cost of the wheel. i told the service manager that gm's offer was not satisfactory and i would proceed in filing formal complaints. they fact that these wheels are a problem that gm is aware of has been discussed and documented on the corvetteforum.com website. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1461736. *jb
