The rear right wheel is confirmed having two cracks by Fremont of Chevrolet. The car was not driven in any conditions beyond that would be considered "normal". We found out about this issue as the TPMS would indicate low tire pressure after the car would be sitting for a few days on the rear right tire. Driving on a cracked wheel presents a danger as the crack can expand and fully deflate the tire during normal driving. This is a known issue for GM for having fragile wheels on the grand sport and Z06 models

Left front wheel was found to be out of round (bent), when trying to balance the wheel assembly due to vibration. The wheel was straightened, and the vibration was resolved. Left rear tire lost pressure while driving on open road in Wyoming. Managed to get to Les Schwab tire store. They removed the wheel/tire assembly, submerged in water tank and found the air leaking through the cracked wheel. Dash warning light had come on indicating the loss of pressure. Local GM dealer (Whistler Chevrolet) was able to order a replacement wheel and it was installed the next day. The expense of the new wheel and mounting was in excess of $900.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. AROUND DECEMBER 2019, MY LEFT REAR WHEEL STARTED TO LOSE AIR. I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, A HAIR-LINE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN IMPACT, OR DAMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL, ON THE INSIDE THE WHEEL OR EVEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND THEY ARE NOT BENT OR SCRATCHED ANYWHERE ON THE RIM. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS MYSELF AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND TO APPEAL THEIR DECISION NOT TO REPLACE MY WHEEL. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, GENERAL MOTORS STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND TWO ADDITIONAL WHEELS NOW HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, ONE WILL NO LONGER HOLD ANY AIR. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL MY RIMS ARE REPLACED. I ORDERED A NEW SET FOR $3K AT MY EXPENSE. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL. THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT...I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE, IT'S PAMPERED AND GETS DRIVEN LESS THAN 7K MILES PER YEAR IN SUNNY FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE NO POT HOLES OR TERRIBLE ROAD CONDITIONS; EVERYTHING IS FLAT AND SMOOTH. I BECAME AWARE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE WHILE READING THE CORVETTE FORUM FOR THESE RIMS. THERE IS POTENTIALLY A HORRIBLE RISK TO SOMEONES LIFE IS THIS ISSUE ISN'T CORRECTED FOR SOME UNKNOWING VICTIM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE WITH THESE RIMS AND FORCE GM TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECAL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIER VEHICLE THAT ARE UNAWARE OF THIS DEADLY SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP CORVETTE OWNERS DRIVING SAFETY, EVEN IF GM REFUSES TO DO SO!
