I hit something that punctured my tire and smashed a hole in my wheel. I have been looking for a replacement and see the refinished ones on ebay which I am guessing are cheap knock-offs.

Did they only put the 18x8 polished chrome wheels on Marauders? I am seeing satin finished wheels around.

I would like to avoid getting a reman or some crappy one. I will browse the for sale section but I guess it will be tough to find 1 wheel.

Any input on how to find one?

Thanks

Look for a used marauder wheel. They put these wheels on rustangs too, but the center cap will not fit properly. I had issues with a wheel replacement with clearcoat peeling off. Be careful on what you buy.

Anodized aluminum polished were OEM equipment. Satin finished were used for the spare.

If you are looking for a polished wheel, get in touch with Embassy....he might have one. I bought one from him last weekend in Louisville and he had 2 up for sale.
