High replacement cost of 22" rims

[Coatesville Dean]

I only had my 2010 Edge Sport for 3 days ad struck a pothole that dented both rims on the passenger side. My Ford dealer quoted me $1,400 each to replace. My insurance company does not want to pay that price and is having the wheels refurbished which can take up to 8 weeks. I am very frustrated. I cannot find these rims anywhere on the internet to see if there is a lower cost option. Anyone have a suggestion? The $1,400 price seems ridiculous to me and my dealer has been no help.

Hi Coatesville. :D Parts prices are not set in stone. Just like car prices, they are negotiable.

 

You can check with other Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Dealers. You can also check the usual online Ford Parts Wholesale outlets, such as Team Ford Parts LINK: Team Ford Parts and Direct Ford Parts LINK: Direct Ford Parts

 

You should be able to get it lower than $1,400 each. How much lower is the question.

 

Keep us updated.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:

be careful they will never ever get those rims true and they wont balance properly. and the tires will wear much quicker.

Thanks, I do not see wheels on these websites, nor do I see 2010 model year listed yet.

That is one of my fears. I am fighting with the State Farm on that front.

They pop up on ebay quite often.

Hi Dean. :D They have updated parts and price catalogs for new model years and parts long before those new items are listed on the website. Websites take time to be updated. Sometimes it is better to call to get the latest information. Personally, I always prefer to call and speak to a live individual anyway (just my preference).

 

And just a word of caution: It is always good to have Ebay alternatives. However, if you read the item descriptions for those wheels you will see that they are also listed as "reconditioned". In other words, they were damaged and fixed, as State Farm Plans on doing with yours. So there is no advantage there (at least not with those particular listings)

 

I will just add that if you have a reputable wheel reconditioning company do the work, the wheels will be as good as new. And generally, State Farm would not work with a company unless they were reputable.

 

In the end, if the wheels are reconditioned and you are not happy with them, then you simply have State Farm rectify the situation. The alternative is to pay out of your pocket for the difference to obtain new wheels.

 

Hope this information helps.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:

A friend of mine with an 05 Jaguar XJR had a large dent in one of his beautiful alloy wheels. He had "Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists" fix it and it came out beautiful.

We stood and watched. They came to us with a special trailer loaded with the special tools needed. Did the job while we waited.

 

Their web site is www.awrswheelrepair.com

 

Check their website to see if there is a location near you. We had it done in Orlando, but there are other sites. My buddy is VERY HAPPY.

do you have any pics of the damaged wheels, what company are they trying to have repair the wheels? Only cosmetic repairs are acceptable, if there is damage to structure of the wheel then they are not repairable. What state are you in? Do you have rental coverage? Did you talk with your agent or a claims team?
