A friend of mine needs advice.
i got this in an email this morning,
the person we talked about is Bryan a former coworker, now if of course the vehicle is under its bumper 2 bumper the rim is going to be covered. now if not then can he dispute to Dodge about a defective rim possibly and try to get a rim from them or does he have to get his insurance company involved.
You ever heard of a rim cracking completly thru one of the spokes? You're old group member, Bryan's big ass Dodge truck has a spoke thats cracks thru like that. I've never see something like that before. We're thinking its just gotta be a defective rim because he's got like a foot of tire around the rim so he would have had to hit something huge to do it.

Re: A friend of mine needs advice.
Yeah, we had a 350z in the shop one time with a crack all the way through one of the spokes. We didn't cover it under any kind of factory warranty (it was out of 3/36) and told him to have the independant dealer he bought it from cover it.
I doubt many dealers will cover a broken wheel like that outside of 3/36, but then again, it depends on if you bought it there and how much money you've spent on service and other cars. This situation will be all politics.
