I own a 2006 nissan 350z with chrome wheels. Three of the wheels are cracked and the car is unsafe to drive. Through the process of trying to get nissan to replace the wheels, I learned that the wheels on the car are after-market re-chromed wheels. Nissan is not being helpful in getting the problem resolved by replacing the wheels. I am referencing NHTSA defect action number pe06050 and engineering analysis ea07005.
