This is soo laughable. Ford doesnt care either. We had a set of defective wheels on a Ford vehicle and Ford blamed it on us even though the crack was no where near anything we could have done.

I have a 2017 GS. My 2 rears were both cracked and the fronts have one bent and one cracked. I only have 29k miles on my vehicle.

The bent wheels don’t show

Doesn’t help to “look closer”. The GS wheels get bent but don’t show a thing.

And the dealer service shops KNOW that any GS coming into the service bay is a candidate for a quick “your wheels are bent” verdict. Followed by a “we can send them out for repair for only $$$$”. Don’t bite.

Sadly, it is a “no win” to go to a wheel shop because they KNOW about the GS wheels and they will badmouth them and offer to sell you $$$$ forged wheels.

Try a really well equipped and well staffed tire and alignment shop (that does not sell forged wheels) to have the wheels checked for cracks and for not running true due to being bent.

Call me an angry GS owner. Cause I am.
