While inspecting the 2017 GS I found a cracked wheel thanks to you guys!!! Dealer is going to replace it at no charge to me and deliver the car to me next week.
I did sign the deal so I am the owner of it!! Well, me and the bank!
I think cracked wheels are traditional corvette fashion,
my C5 wheel cracked out of nowhere about 2 months ago, and they said it’s a common on C5 the back wheels 🤷♂️
Don’t feel so special, you are not the only one 🤪🤪
Now, sell the OEMs while they may still be "good," buy quality, fully-forged aftermarket... and DRIVE ON! ENJOY!
Especially unmounted may bring the value up about 5bucks.Get your order in.A good but expensive wheel company maybe more than 10 weeks now.
That would be Forgelines.So many styles and colors.
Why the wait,cause they are great.
I positive about these fabulous piece of **** GM rims:If it wasn't for them failing ain't no way my financial advisor is gonna spring for new wheels on a new car.
Thanks GM your still #1 in warranty coverage

I'm surprised the dealer can get a replacement within a week. I thought the inventory was low or non-existent, making the OEM wheels hard (if not impossible) to get.

Regardless, well done.
Enjoy your new, awesome ride!
The dealer hadn’t got them yet. We’ll hear back from the OP in a day or so stating they are on back order.
Run 28 cold PSI, always run in tour mode, and do best you can to avoid pot holes and have the Magride software upgrade done (350.00), softens the ride thus shouldn't be as bad on the wheels. See if the dealer will do this before you take ownership. Congrats on new ride.
The Z51 wheels don't crack very often, but...
We have two sets of them, 1 set painted and 1 set factory chromed; summer and winter tires.
Out of the 8 wheels, we have bent 5 on the bombed-out roads of Illinois. Straightened and they road force balance very nicely, no cracks yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wow.
That bottom photo looks like the aftermath of a B-52 bombing run!
