If I remember correctly, our Aussie HSV VX GTS sedans came from the factory with 19" wheels that were cracking spokes. Brand new car with brand new wheels. New wheels from the factory that were cracking on new cars. The wheels were ALL recalled and they made a new batch which they sent back out and they never had an issue after that. I also recall issues with the 20" wheels on the new VE GTS, but I dont remember exactly what is going on with that. My Supervisor at work bought a new one and he had to send 2 away. They were replaced with new wheels. I have a feeling that they were also cracking, but I dont remember. I will ask him tomorrow at work if I remember.
There is another thread on Potholes in NY in the 456 section. There seems to be quite a range pothole damage. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
