2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Owner Comments

problem #1

I have 17 inch alluminum wheels on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. Under normal driving rims bend and tires loose air resulting in weaken tires and bloww out under norma driving conditions. Not safe. Must check tire pressure daily. Metal used is soft and allows space between ties and rims. Tires fail. One tire blew on highway due to sidewall failure potential safety problem to me and public. Rims are too soft.
