The factory supplied OEM GM wheels on this vehicle are cracking in the rims. This is not due to striking any road hazards whatsoever, there is simply a manufacturing defect within the wheel itself.

NHTSA ODI report, 2024-11-05

I currently have a cracked but now welded rim that is off my 2015 Z06 Corvette. This rim is cracked due to a manufacture defect. This is now a known issue and yet to be resolved but this is definitely a safety issue when driving down the road.

NHTSA ODI report, 2023-09-25

Chevy is selling 2015 z-51 corvettes with summer only run-flat tires. Michelin indicates that these tires severely lose traction whenever temperatures fall below 40 degrees f. They are also not appropriate for use in wet or snowy conditions.
