So my stock rims cracked yesterday...
So i was driving around yesterday, and i began to hear clicking noises coming from what sounded like my wheels, but also coulda been something else.. i was thinking the axles or some **** cuz i have that "standard creaking noise" sometimes
one second before i came to a complete stop at the bottem of a hill, my front left rim just cracked and my wheel went flying into the intersection...(bounced off 2 cars) and i slid to a halt.
check it out for yourselves... ****in wierd ****

dude..i wouldnt pay for crap...i would contact nissan customer care and then i would talk to the dealer and find out if nissan chromed them prior to arriving at the dealership or if the dealership sent them out to have them chromed......
either way, someone is to blame and whom ever it is, is gonna blame the chroming on whomever did the chroming.

That's horrible! If they were the chromed wheels that were original equipment(an extra, but original equipment off the floor all the same), I would think Nissan would fall all over itself to make you happy. That is the stuff legitimate law suits are made of.
