“Your recently announced investigation into slow tire leaks due to bad steel wheels on GM products prompted me to write about the same experience with my 99 Mazda Protege alloy wheel that I just replaced at full cost. Mazda told me they have had no complaints on the type of defect that I had--a pinhole in the middle of the wheel. Of all the years of owning an automobile, I was never confronted with this type of problem. Any correlation? Any other complaints on these wheels? Thanks.”
