The right front and right rear rims on my Corvette are bent and I have had this car less than 3 years. I have other cars that are much older and have never had a bent rim. This seems to be a common problem with the wide rims on this car and the Z06 since the wheel barrels are very wide and have no support by way of the spokes at the far edge.

Tire slowly lost pressure over several weeks, eventually losing 2-3 psi/day. No issues found with tire, but rim was cracked in 3 places, starting at edge of inner lip and extending into the barrel. Cracks were roughly 1-2 inches in length. No major impacts to the tire/rim. Daily driver with zero track use. I have two sets of these rims, one for summer, one for winter. This was the summer set with the stock run-flat tire (very stiff sidewall, which may be a contributing factor), so mileage on these is roughly half of total car mileage.

There was zero damage other than the crack and no obvious impact marks. Chevrolet stated that they will not cover this defect in material on the wheel.

With approximately 9500 miles on our 2017 Corvette, we purchased new tires in anticipation of a long road trip this summer. When the car was picked up from discount tire, we were told that at least two bent wheels. We contacted the dealer, who told us that the bent wheels are not covered by the 3-year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. The wheel repair facility informed us that 3 wheels were severely bent and one was slightly bent. We paid $400 for the repair to all four, as we consider it a critical safety issue. After this, we searched the internet and found hundreds of similar complaints, some on cars with under 500 miles. Others reported that they were told by a dealership that the problem was not covered by warranty or recall because GM is not hearing about the issue repeatedly. A federal class action lawsuit has now been filed in California over this problem. Our invoice for repair is attached.

My vehicle was purchased new April 2017 last year the rear wheels were leaking air and upon inspection it was discovered the inner rim was cracked in several places. This was the first occurrence happening to passenger side rear. Within 6 months another issue with the driver side rear rim this had one crack upon inspection and taking it to dealer who would say that it's driver driving habits and road conditions that is the cause. During the second incident the dealer service agents said that it is common and they get a lot of them. The issue is not enough people are reporting it or know the process to report it so the manufacturer (GM) can be held accountable for it. Once I was able to capture photos of the wheel with the 7 cracks and send it to GM corporate did I get assistance for warranty coverage for the wheels. My concern now is the wheels that are on it now. I have a vehicle that I fear has defective unsafe wheels that can possibly crack and fall apart like glass. I am attaching photos that show the wheel with the several cracks. Confirmation of actual dates can be obtained upon request.

The car has had a vibration since new. The dealership said it was due to four bent wheels and three bad tires. The car had the four wheels and tires replaced at 3200 miles. Two weeks and 400 miles later I took the car back to the dealership because the vibration did not get solved. The dealership said that three of the replaced were bent. The service manager said that due to the poor design of the wheels that are very prone to bending. Now I am not driving the car in fear of the constant problem of bending the wheels. In one month the car has had seven wheels and four tires replaced.
