All of the wheels on my eclipse spyder are damaged from normal driving. Mitsubishi claims i have hit pot holes, curbs, etc.but i have not. Making a u-turn in a parking lot caused 4 "waves" in my rear drivers side wheel and caused my tire to go flat.
All 4 alloy wheels developed a dent in them. The rear passenger side wheel dent was so severe that it resulted in the tire leaking air because it was not able to form a proper seal. Dealership was contacted.*ak
