where to get replacement wheels?

[scolazz]

So it appears Ive bent a rim. Going to get it looked at, but it's my understanding that repairing an aluminum rim is not generally possible.

So, where can I get a replacement? local dealer said theyre 'obsolete' and he can't order them.

What are my options here? Im flatlined until I get this replaced, it's my only car.

Aluminum rims are repairable, but it takes some downtime. You don;t want a "new" rim from FORD anyway..They are $1500.00.. There are few members here selling some in the for sale section. You can look at Blackburn Wheel in Macedonia, OH..They sometimes have some re-furbished ones for around $350.00..They re-finished my rims a year and half ago.

Wanted to add that some members here have some spare rims in their possession, Just have to wait until later in day to see if anyone logs in and is willing to sell one. Someone will prolly come forward and offer..

Thanks for the replies, appreciate it.

Long story short, my rim is fine. Which is good, cause there isn't a single one in stock anywhere at any dealer, even at ridiculous prices :)

Turns out the guy that installed my tires yesterday reused my old broken valve stem. Got that sorted out, and Im good to go :)

Glad I didn't have to go digging up a rim from somewhere, that's for sure!

It would be worth it to buy one and use it as a full size spare..I have one I bought for that purpose..That way you are covered in an emergency

I bought one from a hub cap store and it was an aftermarket repro. Pretty good one too. I think it was a Hollander 3493

about 2 months ago I got 2 OEM wheels in fantastic shape on ebay for $250 each. they were take offs from a wrecked marauder.

There has been some on STL Craigslist for a few weeks. Full set of wheels and three tires for $450.

So how does a bad valve stem become a "bent rim"?

There are places around.
Any good Body shop will set you up with a reconditioned wheel for $200 with yours as core.
They are OEM refinished wheels.
Regarding the Ebay item, $250 for a good Marauder wheel (no core) is about right price.
