There probably is some right up on the wheels/rims in the warranty manual, but you'll need a strong case that the damage wasn't created by hitting a pot hole or some other kind of "misuse". These wheel and rim warranties seem to have all kinds of weasel words that the insurer likes to use to bail on a warranty claim. Good luck!

I’ve had zero issues with my wheel & tire insurance. It’s saved me Tons of money. Best $800 (I think it cost that) I ever spent. Probably depends on the dealership and policy. Scratches get repaired, nail = new tire, rim cracks replaced. Wrecks that cause damage aren’t covered. They even allowed me to replace the cup2s with the MPSSs.

I believe too that the Tire & Wheel Ins. contracts do a very good job of protecting you. The GM factory warranty not so much. Some have posted here (most) that dealer denied claims, but others have said they have had luck with their dealer. I think it's hit or miss on the FACTORY car warranty covering bent/cracked wheels.
