Wheels cracking
I have a 2017 Grand Sport and I have crack wheels on the both side (rear)
Because I was on the highway and it was a Sunday no dealer was open, so I stop a a Goodyear store who welded both wheels. Now the dealer states it nothing they can do about because they were repaired by a none GM dealer.

There are at least a gazillion threads here about such issues with wide-body wheels. Of course, the dealer isn't going to mess with "modified" wheels, even if it was for a good reason. I'm sorry whenever I read such, but the only route is buying your own quality, aftermarket, truly forged wheels.

I can see the dealer’s point - they have no control over how well the repair was done. But this is a known issue with the wheels. If I had to guess, you are in a really tough position.
