BECAUSE MY TIRE WAS GOING FLAT, THE MECHANICS FOUND THAT THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED. THEY ORDERED ONE; IT CAME AND WAS WRONG SIZE; WHEN THEY ORDERED THE NEXT ONE, THEY WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE 500 ON BACK ORDER! THIS 1ST VISIT WAS ON 7/5/00 AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE THE NEW TIRE UNTIL 8/21/00. WHAT IF WE DON'T FIND OUT THAT THESE WHEELS ARE CRACKED UNTIL ONE BREAKS APART? HOW ARE WE TO KNOW THIS COULD HAPPEN?( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 17 )
