On 3-23-22 I took my car to Belle Tire because the right rear tire kept losing air. They informed me that the wheel was cracked and they had it repaired for $155.00. On June 24th my wife drove the car to Ohio and called me saying the dash showed the air pressure in the right rear tire was down to 23 lbs. She got it aired back to 32 PSI and went for a boat ride for a few hours. When she returned and got in the car to leave, the dash showed it was down to 5 PSI. Again, she got help in airing the tire up to around 40 PSI as she had a 2 hour drive home and this was only the 2nd time she had ever driven the car. The first time was the day before, June 23rd.

All the way home, her friend kept texting me with air pressure reports until they made it home safely. The next morning I went to take it to Belle Tire once again and the tire pressure was at 0 PSI. I aired it up, took it to the shop and left it. This was Saturday the 25th. They called before they closed and told me that both rear wheels were cracked. The right rear for the 2nd time and the left rear as well. They had a wheel repair shop come to pick them up today and they said that the right rear was not fixable. They took the LR with them and I started searching for a rear wheel replacement.

The tire shop found one at a Chevy dealer for over $1,300.00. I found one at the dealership where I bought the car and it was going to be $1,091.00. I finally found one at Tire Rack for $505.00 and I should receive it on Wednesday. If I decide to keep the car, I will have no choice but to go purchase 4 forged wheels which is how they should've been to begin with. I have located 4 Forgeline wheels at a discounted price of $2,800.00 plus shipping. If I decide to trade the car I will leave the junk wheels that Chevrolet put on my $80,000.00 car.

w.t.h.

It's my second 'Vette. I loved the first one, sold to my kid to keep in the family. I bought the last year of this style 2019. I was thinking a third one will be cool with the new design 2021, but I don't want any issues with a first year production car, that's how I roll. BUT, thinking I safely bought the last year of this style Sebring Orange, my second mid life crisis 'Vette, 3 of the 4 rims are already bent, and believe me I baby this thing, like my last one. If I don't get an easy fix, I won't get the third one.

I recently visited my local dealer because my GS C7 was due for an oil change and other issues that needed to be addressed. One of my issues was that the car was swaying left to right at speeds over 45mph along with hopping while driving straight at low speeds. Dealer test drove my car along the potholes riddled streets and highways of Illinois, Chicago to be exact. Shortly after I get a call from my dealer that all 4 of my rims were bent.

Something definitely doesn't seem right especially seeing as how I had just replaced one of the rims along with a tire and made sure not to drive the car until pothole repair season had started. I'm not sure what to do next but I need some help and advice from the Vette community.

I have a 2019 Corvette Grand Sport under "Factory Warranty", bumper to bumper, cracked wheels have been an issue with 2015 to 2019 Corvette Grand Sports and Z06's. GM has built a high performance sports car with CHEAP wheels. After thousands of cracked and bent rims, they will not admit it. Kayla from GM has called me six times in the last month and assures me she is working on my issue! My car has been parked for a month because I am afraid to drive it. Today she called and wanted to know if I mind waiting until spring for her to resolve this! I have had Corvettes for 30 years, this will be my last one and probably my last GM vehicle.

Vibrations which got worst as I would break. Took it in and was told it was the brake pads and rotors. They shaved them. Didn't help. Replaced them. Didn't help. Drove it for another year like this. Vibrations were so bad that I got scared. Took it in and they claimed it was my bad driving which wore out another set of pads and breaks in 4000 miles. Complained to GM but no coverage. Took to a different dealer for it and found out it has 2 warped wheels. Had Wheel coverage sold to me by my dealer for road hazard damage that should have covered it but they policy people claimed it wasn't caused by road damage.

SO - BAD WHEELS LIKE SO MANY OTHER GRAND SPORT OWNERS HAVE HAD. NO ONE WILL COVER THE COST.

In the past few weeks, car started to shudder between 1200-1500 RPM. This also coincided when the engine shut off from 8 cylinders to 4 cylinders. Searching on the internet led me to believe I needed a transmission fluid flush, but when I took it in to Seminole Chevrolet, guy calls me back and says I got 2 rear cracked rims that are the problem. No transmission fluid flush is necessary. Cost of each rim is $750+ and extended warranty over paid $200 each. Another $45 to install and balance. Chevrolet should man up about their mistake and fix it.

Wanted to get the 2021 Z06 whenever it came out, but I am not sure about that now.

Purchased my C7 in Sept, with only just over 2000 miles. Currently in winter storage and will in Late April or May, put back on the road. However, very concerned about the issue involving bent/cracked rims on C7 Corvettes. Spoke to several members in our local Corvette club who own C7s and they all have experienced this issue. They each have between 7K & 10K miles on their cars. I'm nervous about what to expect during this years driving season. I, like 1,000s of other C7 owners, are very upset and want to go on the record to report our disdain over this.

We purchased our cars due to the great love for the car (this is my 3rd. corvette), and extremely unhappy we are experiencing this issue and GM is choosing to take no responsibility.

I want my car to go on the record for this.

I have 2019 GrandSports that has now had 2cracked rims in last month. GM was zero help.Bump to bumper does not cover. According to dealership I was offered a warranty that GM sells on rims and that in signing all the papers I said I did not want. I sure don’t remember any sales person offering me crap. That would have raised a red flag for me. Like why would they be selling an extra warranty if they did not know was a potential problem with rims. These cars are well tested so you can’t tell me that they were not aware and still choose to release them to consumer. I am 72 years old and this is my 8th Corvette since 2000..Driven only by me on same roads.I know how to take care of a car. It is a flaw in the RIM.Its junk,trash on a 89000.00 car. It is dangerous and only a matter of time before someone is killed. Wonder if Mary Barr would like to drive down the interstate at75 mph in one. Dont think so,There is a class action lawsuit against GM over rims. It is Capstone law firm in Los Angeles.3105564811. Also GM had bulletin on rear end. Change fluilds if brought in for noise on turning. They ended up changing rear in out on my car.

At 780 miles brought to the dealer because there was vibrating above 35 mph. dealer found that the left rear rim was bent and the right tire was defective. they refused to cover the rim under warranty and charged $300. they did cover the right tire. the car now has 2500 miles on it and i believe there are bent rims again. i tried to order rims for the zr1 2 months ago but they are on back order. I am extremely disappointed that gm or the dealer will not cover the rims under warranty for an issue that has been going for 3 years. they clearly knew that there were issues with the rims before they sold it to me. I have only traveled on normal roads and have not hit any potholes
