This is in reference to a wheel on a motorcycle that came apart. I have the wheel and can send pics of same. The wheel was manufactured @ 1997 by american wire wheels, which is now dayton wheels. The side edge of the wheel broke loose from the rim resulting in an immediate loss of tire pressure. Had I not been traveling at a very low speed, the defect would have most certainly caused me to go down. I would like to make sure that any other wheels out there do not come apart like this. Also, I would like to know what, if anything, I can do to get the company to discuss any liability. You may have them or your office may contact me as you feel the need. I will retain the wheel for at least a month. Also, I do not recall the "exact" date but had to put a date in the field below.
