Has anyone got an idea of where to buy AN OEM 19"??????????HELP PLEASE !! Keep looking around.....I'm sure someone will be selling a set eventually. I have been searching for months, and missed an oppportunity here and there (bad luck I guess) where someone was selling theirs and I just missed it. I am in the process of powdercoating my extra set right now.......will be selling my originals in September. But I guess that doesnt really help you all the way up there !

BlwnSn8k Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I did the same on my right front wheel and had it fixed for about $75, of course the stealership got me an amazing deal since they dented my driver's door. You could only tell by getting right up on it. I took it and had it buffed a little to remove the orange peel and it looks good as new. If you can find a guy who really knows what he is doing with wheel repair, it will be very hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! i had mine repaired here in Atl at a pro shop that just does wheels--it costs 160 bucks but its perfect.

ponyboy96 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 ^ this I'm in ATL as well and did the same. Came out very well and you can't tell the difference. Cost me about $200. It was worth a shot, if it didn't work then I was going to pick up a used set. Just make sure you go to a reputable wheel repair place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I did that twice. $100 repair each time - flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guy was mobile. Came out with an airbrush and whatever he needed to make the repair and blend the color. I think you just need a skilled owner operator, not some minimum wage guys at a "large wheel repair place"/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 See any damage? If they say they can't do it, they suck. Find a good guy. The guy did both of mine does it right there in the parking lot, doesn't remove the wheel, jack up the car - nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 If you want a replacement wheel rather than refinishing your existing one, keep an eye on eBay. You see them for $4-$500 all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I wouldn't advise buying a used wheel for $500, that's 5 repairs! You WILL do it again if you did it once. I did it twice within 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipm Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 As ChrisSD says find a mobile wheel repair guy. I did the same thing last year and had it fixed. They matched it perfect can't tell where it was fixed. See if there is a Alloy Wheel Repair branch in Winnipeg that's who I used in Calgary.

Madlock Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 There's also single-wheel listings like this one. Which never seem to be in short supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADA GUY Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 There's also single-wheel listings like this one. Which never seem to be in short supply. This $ 495 wheel is a brighter finish ( refinished in hyper silver). jUST GOT MY OEM BACK form the wheel refinisher.It is larger wheels only place with about 12 employees and do a lot of dealer work.Wheel looks perfect - can't see any blemishes at all Price was $ 50 for refinish and $ 20 for rebalance - delivered to my door. Way cheaper than expected.I got very lucky but will have to be more careful in the future. Thanks everyone for all the help. END OF THREAD.

knightowl Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I feel your pain everybody. I've had my 2011 for all of two months and just got too close o a curb a few days ago. Pretty minor scrape and chip, but I know it's there and it bothers me big time. Also took a small strip of rubber off the tire the extends just outside the rim, but I think it shouldn't affect the tire integrity after I spoke to a tire dealer about it....Gonna try to get one of those mobile guys to come out and fix the chip / scrape anyway. I'm just mad at myself for getting so tight to the curb; you can get away with that on a truck or high profile tire as he rim won't normally connect, just some rubber.

Bill Hamilton Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I also feel you pain. Mine's a DD and I've put 14K very enjoyable miles on it the first year. I've also got two curb scraps, one front and one rear (opposite sides). I'm in the process of looking for a repair place but had even considered going to the convertible 18" wheels as they can be bought new fairly cheap vs the $1400 plus 19" stock wheel.

A competent wheel repair guy will drive to your work, be with your car 1 hour, and leave you with a mint wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawwy600 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Mine was taken care of in Irvine, CA. The shop was recommended to me by the dealership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobras55 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I curb rashed mine really bad one time and had what was said to be the best wheel doctor around, this guy would work on vette's,beamers,Mercedes,and everything else high end, anyways he was highly recommended , but tried three times and it took two weeks and he couldn't match it. So from my experience you'll never be able to match it. But then again mine had to be stripped all the way down and reshot, it was real severe. End result was I had to buy a brand new fucking rim for just under 9 hundred,and I got that price cause I'm good friends with the GM at my ford dealership, other wise it was closer to 12 hundo. Man I was pissed. Oh I had to give them the damaged rim to get that price also,wonder why Shelby/ford HAD to have that back. Anyways I wish you luck in your fix and it sucks that had to happen...

knightowl Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I stopped at the wheel place a few days ago up where I live. They said mine was just the paint that was scraped but the metal was beneath was unscathed. I will have to leave the wheel or car for the day and they quoted me about $180 or so to fix her up like new. I'll let everyone know how I make out.
