“I have incurred two bent rims within the first 3500 miles of the vehicle's ownership. I purchased the vehicle new. This results in significant front end vibration at speeds over 45 MPH. The wheels are cast aluminum on my version of Dodge Charger. Dodge offers forged aluminum on the higher end models.”
NHTSA complaint #10555152, filed 2013-12, 3,500 miles“I have been driving my car on nearly a daily basis since I acquired it in october 2013. Over the course of the past 27k miles, I have had to replace my wheels ( rims ) on 3 separate occasions during the spring months as a result of hairline fractures/cracks occurring on the inner wall of the wheel. The location of the crack to be more precise is where the bead of the tire would be seated during mounting. In each instance, the wheel in question was mounted on the front of the car (one driver side and two passenger side) and did not show any sign of deformation or bending. …”

I was having what I thought was tire problems. Les schwab looked at my tires and it was a bent rim. I paid almot $400 for a new rim. Then 3 months later I had another bent rim, this time the replaement would have been a mopar part for over $600.. I went to an online store and purchased 4 new rims for around $800, almost the exact same rims.
