Default Looking for similar wheels...?

I got new sneakers put on the stang about 2 weeks ago at my dealership. After I got home I noticed that they damaged one of my wheels!

Well come to find out my wheels have been discontinued

I was wondering if anyone out there new of some wheels that look like if not identical to my Kazera KZ-A's? They are 18X8.5

if the dealer damaged your wheels the that makes them responsible for them. atleast thats what i would think. so id go through them with reparing hatever is damaged.

Oh the dealership is going to do something for me since they're the ones that damaged the wheel. They had a company come out and look the damage and they said that with the way these wheels were chromed that they can't repair it.

So I'm trying to find something that looks similar or hopefuly identical to the ones I have. I just love the way they look.

They look like a Roush rim.Or maybe these...except for the little slots cut out at the end of the spoke.

Well if they damaged them and they can't be fixed I'd let them find me a new wheel! Or replace them. That's what they have insurance for.

They do look a lot like Roush wheels.

yes they are responsibe and they should replace the wheel that has been damaged. but you need to tell them they dont make that wheel anymore. and fight this with them. make them purchase you the roush wheels. they look very similar to them. and since its ford youll prob get the OEM roush wheels. not replicas. thats even better!

The Roush rims are 18X10...Will my tires fit that size rim? I have 255/45R18

I thought i saw a similar set of wheels on ponybuilder.com. I think you would have a great small claims lawsuit against the dealer...I would make them buy a whole new set of wheels. If they damaged the wheel, the wheel can not be repaired or replaced, then they owe you a new set of wheels.

Absolutely, your tires will fit on the 10 in wide rim. In fact, they will probably perform better given the fact that their sidewall will no longer be being pinched in. Using a tire height and width caclulator, your tires section width is 10.4 wide, so the tire is AS wide as the rim, but your sidewalls will be very vertical, and you will have to be more carefull not to curb the wheels. With your current setup, your rims are pinching in the sidewall by about two inches and the lip of your rim is well protected by the bulging sidewall. That will no longer be the case with the roush rims, but I'd go for it if they are footin the bill. You will actually have more tire meeting the pavement by switching to the wider rim, because when the sidewalls are allowed to relax (and not be pulled in) the true section width of the tire will actualy be touching the pavement.

yikes ! sorry to hear about that . most these people that do work on our cars just dont care.
i had worse experiences with discount tire on mounting and they fought tooth and nail that the damage was there when i brought it in .
they also put the jack under my skirt on the front drivers side and screwed it all up and claimed it was like that before.
