I initially purchased these rims from a dealer, named ****************, in approximately March or April of 2023, I cant remember exactly when. About 3 weeks after purchasing them I noticed a very long crack and dent on the rim after driving it very minimally and in no way irresponsibly with the reality of having rims. I immediately contacted the dealer with concerns over the quality of the rims and it being unreasonable for this to have happen. He told me to send pictures and he would contact the company about replacing it under warranty. I didnt hear back but at that point was when I realized multiple rims had the same cracking in the same spot, and so I contacted them again and he advised to bring them in person. There was no damage whatsoever to the outside of the rims but was rather a very fragile interior that was recognized by the dealer as well when I brought them in, and this was where the manufacture defect had occurred. I brought them to him and he acknowledged as well this was definitely a manufacturer defect and obviously not my fault, but now I couldnt drive them either because of the risk to my tires being damaged as a result. So the dealer advised he would be working with manufacturer to get a resolution, however the manufacturer took no responsibility and stated that it was wear and tear, which was impossible because Id barely driven 100 miles on the vehicle since getting the rims. The dealer stated because the rims were originally from the manufacturer I would need to deal with them about it. I am making a complaint with both companies is at this point as I am out almost $3000 dollars cause these are nothing but large paperweights now still sitting at the dealer warehouse. I am not looking for the compensation for being without my vehicle and the damage to my tires but solely to get a replacement of good quality rims like I was told these were when I bought them.
