I own a 2006 F-150 with the chrome package including 18" alloy wheels : SYL-3559-S. I curb-checked a walkway today. I got out and there was a chunk of my rim missing. Is this a common problem with this wheel. What do I do call my insurance agency?

The weird thing is it still holds pressure even though it lost part of the rim edge.

 

pics would be nice... ive seen dented wheels but not ones that actually had a piece missin

 

pics in the morning

 

my imput would be to take this time to buy some after market wheels! JMHO

 

its a lease

 

ohhh oops! that sucks... maybe your insurance will cover it then!

 

Yeah i think i would see what the inmsurance does for you first. They should cover it since it is a lease. If they cant help then let me know and maybe we can do something for you.


Maybe we can get you one at cost or something.

 

Your deductible will be more than it would cost to buy another wheel yourself. I'd look for one off ebay to replace it.

 

I would really like to see a pic also!

 

My roomate broke a wheel on his 2008 Chebby
Probably looks similar to this

 

Ouch!

 

I bet you can get a set of those with tires for $500. Since this is your fault, you pay deductible with insurance claim, so it isn't worth it to file a claim, pay deductible, and higher rates. Find one for sale either on here (classifieds) or ebay/craig's list. If you cannot find a single wheel, buy a set and sell the rest individually. for $100ea.

 

I'd just keep an eye on it, making sure its holding air etc... and watch craigslist for a set of stockers for cheap. A factory wheels would cost you an arm and a leg from a dealer. There are places that repair the wheels but it normally cost a pretty penny. good luck!

 

I got a set of 18: chrome lincoln lt rims I will sell you. Its in the classified

 

Wrong, take it off imediatly. Or asap. Spare tire and rim even tho its ugly is much safer then a broken rim
