Description of the problem | Corvette rear wheel was losing air so inspected tires and found no holes. Went to corvette forum to learn this is a known problem on z06 and grand sports. Seems gm has a problem with cracking. My crack is exactly what the forum members have. Hairline crack in the rim on the non-hub side. This is a safety issue as the rim could come apart at speed and cause a serious accident. I have no other damage to the wheel and have not had any curb damage. I baby this car and the same crack that many others have experienced appear. |
