THE 17 INCH RIMS OF MY 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE WERE CONSISTANTLY AND SEVERLY BENT. BECAUSE OF THIS MY TIRES WORE IN AN ABNORMAL WAY.

VEHICLE: 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT, PURCHASED NEW WITH 17" PREMIUM WHEELS. ALL WHEELS WERE DENTED ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE RIM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEFECTS WERE NOT NOTICED AT THE TIME OF SALE AND WHEN THEY WERE BROUGHT TO MITSUBISHI'S ATTENTION NO RESOLUTION WAS MADE.*AK

ON MY 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT, ALL FOUR 17" RIMS BECAME BENT. THIS CREATED BUBBLING IN TIRES, IMPROPER TIRE WEAR, AND DIFFICULTY IN WHEEL ALIGNMENT. RIMS WERE BENT DURING NORMAL DRIVING; POTHOLES WERE NOT CAUSE OF DAMAGE. REPLACED TIRES AND RIMS. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REMEDY PROBLEM IN EXISTING VEHICLES. NEW VEHICLES NO LONGER COME WITH THIS TYPE OF RIM.*AK
