Wheels on other Model Y years
No other Model Y model year has enough reports of wheels for a sheet of its own. See every Model Y year.
What this problem usually is
This sheet gathers complaints about the parts that meet the road: tires that wear out early or blow out, wheels that crack or bend, lug nuts that come loose, and wheel bearings that start to hum. The median mileage owners give is about 21,000, among the lowest on the site, so many of these are fairly new cars.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the wheel (39 reports) and the tires (29 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the wheels cover the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure.
The steering wheel fastener may be loose.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 7 of 58 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
