Vehicle's metal wheel rims hold water after it rains. The rims were designed in a way that allowed them to retain water after it rained or came in contact with standing water. This problem caused the rims to corrode and resulted in separation of the rim. The manufacturer was contacted but told the consumer that they were not responsible for the problem.
