NHTSA complaint #10055497, filed 2004-02, 49,159 miles“Olds crome plated the orignal stock alum. Wheels making the wheels thicker, thus the wheels throw off the weights and not the wheels are pealing inside. If the weights are forced down it breakes the tire beed causing a flat. All the Intrigue's with crome aluminum wheels are affected I have taken pictures of the autos on different lots and all are the same. I went to 5 different places to balance these wheels to no avail, and am on my third set of tires.”
