First time this has ever happened to me. I got off the interstate highway because the rear was vibrating. The car was making this terrible noise and I knew something was wrong. But I kept going until I got home. I turned on my cell flashlight and looked at all the wheels. I was shocked when I saw most of the 10 spokes cracked.
I thought Giovanna's were decent wheels. I was wrong. I didn't hit anything. I believe it happened when I drove over the part of the exit where they connect sections of road with metal. Nothing unusual and certainly unavoidable. I want to be pissed but instead I am happy nothing more severe happened.
Should I replace the one wheel or buy something else. That's my next decision.
Thread worthless without pics.....the saying goes.
LOL...didn't take any. Not into this stuff like I was years ago. I posted only to present news of Giovanna wheel cracked. One in a blue moon is tolerated but if there are several others out there, could be a serious concern.
As I said earlier, i completely trust Niche/MHT wheels. So I bought a cheap set of wheels jsut to have some wheels but these won't break. They look and feel strong as an ox. Heavier than I usually take but I don't believe you should buy lightweight cast wheels. Only light weight forged. These are 28 and 30 lbs.
On the good side, anyone that has known me a while knows I love 5 spoke wheels. i am back home.
These are not the best looking wheels but I wanted safe and strong. I'll decide later if I want something nicer. I like them enough to roll with them.
Niche Apex 20x8.5/10. 35/40 offsetts.
It's day 2 and I am liking the wheels more. I came out of the building at work, saw the car and went....wow! Those 5 spokes are hitting!. I love 5 spokes. Its nice to be back with a set.
