I felt vibration in my wheels and hen I taken 3 of my rims were bent I switch them and paid over 2K 3 weeks after my rims are bent again on my 2019 Z06 Corvette I think this should be safety issue and GM should recall this rims and replace them with other stronger rims I only have 2900 miles on the car
Bent rear wheel on my 2019 gs Corvette, vehicle begins vibrating, shaking at 25 mph unable to drive, dealer found bent drivers side rear tire severely bent when, only 3200 miles on vehicle. Dealer is replacing wheel, and also( at my urging) tire at present. Problem is the rims are scarce and may take days to find replacement. Meanwhile, unable to drive $75000 car! I have researched this problem and found this problem with these cast aluminum wheels are widespread.
Second time in 3 months that the rims have bent while driving. I had a 2017 Chevy Corvette which was repurchased due to manufacturing defect and never had this problem. The first time car had 600 miles and 2 rims bent when encountering a pothole. This time, car not repaired yet, has 1100 miles and another rim bent driving. The slightest imperfection in the roadway causes these rims to bend. I believe these rims are being manufactured poorly. Both times I was traveling on a highway.
Bent wheel discovered when tires were switched at 144 miles. Bent wheel noted on receipt for new tires. Dealership refused to acknowledge bent wheel. Should be covered under new car warranty. Bent wheels can result in cracked wheels with additional driving. Have videos of bent wheel on balancer.
Developed slow leak on front drivers side tire. Later diagnosed at dealer as cracked wheel. I belong to Corvette forum and many members are having similar issues. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed

This car has 3K on it and took it to the dealer for a slight vibration only to be told not one but (4) wheel were bent. This is my 5th Corvette, never had an episode so violent as to bend (4) wheels and I drive this car every day
I experienced three cracks in my rear passenger side wheel after owning the car 6 months and not hitting any pot holes. There was no damage to the tire at all.
Unlike my rear-left wheel (see complaint #11192823) which has four cracks and loses about 24 psi per day, my right-rear wheel isn't losing any air (yet). However I pulled the it off tonight and discovered two cracks developing on it as well. Again, as in the left-rear wheel, there are no bumps or bruises on the rim at the points of failure.
