Vette R & D Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If you have been on the web it probably won't surprise you that the C7 Grand Sport and Z06 both suffer from cracks in the Rims. Well I had heard of this but never experienced it first hand until now. My wheel was not experiencing air pressure lose but found cracks yesterday when I went to get new tires. Sure enough my right rear rim of my Vette GS had 2 cracks in the rim about 4" apart on the inner lip. Discount and I were inspecting the rims as they came of the Vette and there was no visible damage to the tire or rim. They were the original tires with over 23,000 miles on them. So I'm looking for a gloss Black rear rim for my GS size is a 20" x 12" wide. If anyone know of one around let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixAddict Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Have read about this issue on the big forum for quite a while, seems the only cure is aftermarket forged wheels. I know that’s not what you want to hear Ron but at least you didn’t get stuck with this issue 1000 miles from home.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extender32 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 This is a known issue on the C7 and GM refuses to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vette R & D Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thought I might return it to GM, Like the old lady throwing a tire through a window in the old Discount Tire commercials. Just Kidding! maybe! Definitely looking at aftermarket Forged Rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
