Angry Need a wheel

Just happened to pull the left rear wheel off to check on a slowwww leak only to dicsover a dent on the inside of the rim(I guess a Chicago pot crater bit the L. So here's the question, does anyone have or know where I can get a replacement rim?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Toadster!
I don't know if you have done this already but show the wheel to your dealer. They just might be able to help you out.

You could also get it repaired at a rim shop. The wife spun the Syclone I had and smacked a curb with two rims. I had them repaired for about 1/4 the price of new ones and you couldn't tell there was any repair.

Thumbs up

Looks like I'm going to get one from the online store ($229) and have the other one HOPEFULLY repaired for a spare.
Thanks for the responses.

Toadster,

I saw a shop this weekend in one of those auto centers on Ogden Avenue in Naperville, just east of Route 59 which repairs alloy wheels. I didn't pay much attention, but I do have a similiarly damaged wheel on the wifes Vette which I replaced and never had repaired. If your interested, I could go back for more info maybe this weekend.

Oh Boy! I hate to do this because I would like to see Roger (F150 Online Store)get the business from this message board. But if you guys are going to shop around. Call Mike (not me) at Diversified Products 1-734-459-0130. I think that he has the best price on Lightning wheels. In fact on most of the Ford SVO stuff.
