What is wrong
The steel wheels exhibit fatigue cracking around the circumference of the wheel lug nut mounting surface due to wheel bending caused by frequent misuse of tire mounting equipment, lug nut overtorquing, and the unusual operating conditions experienced by police vehicles.

Replace the defective wheels with redesigned steel wheels.
