   I went to the Chevy Dealer for service and to investigate a tire that keeps losing air. The dealership advised that the 2 rear wheels both have cracks that are consistent with a known problem in this model vehicle. They also documented that the two front wheels have bends also associated with a known defect in this model vehicle.

   Multiple Wheels (9) have been replaced and multiple tires. Have had to repair each of these wheels upwards of 20+ times and it’s not allowed legally after 3 cracks per wheel. Safety issue as tires would blow out or go flat in short time. Yes, been inspected multiple times by dealers, GM and told not covered under any warranty. One incident, GM agreed to replace the 2 rear wheels at 50% retail!

   Noticed one wheel kept leaking down slowly. After a couple of weeks of filling the air in the tires, it was down near the warning pressure again on one rear wheel. Decided to remove the wheel to inspect the cause of the leak. Upon removal of the wheel, there were two noticeable cracks on the inner bead diameter of the wheel. I know this has been a big issue for all the C7 GS corvettes, because this is my 4th C7 GS with the same issue. All my previous C7 GS have had all the…

   It has been well documented that the oem wheels on this model and the Z06 of similar years are of poor quality and crack under normal road use, posing a serious safety hazard. What I learned today, that I was not previously aware of, is that they crack on the inside lip, often extending into the barrel of the wheel. A crack in this location is virtually impossible to detect, especially on black wheels like mine and even though I have my own 2 post lift and routinely inspect…

    The left rear wheel of this vehicle has two major cracks in it. The tire has had a slow leak for the past couple of months as indicated by the low-tire warning light on the dashboard. I took it to a Discount Tire Outlet in an effort to find and repair the leak, and upon inspection the technician found the two cracks and pointed them out to me. Obviously, if the tire were to blow out at any speed it would endanger the lives of me and any of my passengers, as well as the…
