In addition to all the good advice you have received here, I would add - have a four-wheel alignment done when you get the wheel situation finalized. Ask the shop to set camber (front & rear) at or near -1.0 and toe at or near 0.0. It is my contention that reducing camber reduces the load on the inner bead of the wheel and spreads the load more evenly along the entire width of the wheel. Our `19 Grand Sport is just over 3 years old and 16,000 miles without any cracks or bends.

Dealer first called me back and only wanted to give me a couple of hundred dollars. I told him that was not right to send my parents out in a gm certified car with 3 cracks in the wheel. He said that was the best he could do. I got busy and was about to send an email to gm and the dealer calls back. He is now saying he will send 2 new rear wheels. Don’t know if I should still contact gm or just let it go and let them send me the wheels.

Looks as though someone was dishonest when selling it to you. GL

I would take the rear wheels and check the front. Hopefully the rears are the only ones that are cracked. If they can’t match the front ones, then they owe you 4 matched ones.
