bigPelo Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We had light snow yesterday and temperature got below freezing point around 6pm. I told my wife to take my car to her dance class so I can retrofit HID in her Versa. I also insisted to drive super slow because of black ice and the SHO is still on summer tires. Guess what's next... :RpS_cursing: :mad: Rear passenger side. She was at 10-15 km/h (6-9 mph) per her saying. Now alignment is off and there's a wobbling sound starting from 70 km/h (43 mph) that increases continously with speed like a worn out bearing. I haven't tried faster than 90 km/h (56 mph) because I got worried. :mad2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Agh! Hopefully it can be sanded down and refinished without much ado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ouch! Summer tires don't do well in the winter. Try driving behind her to look at the rim when the car is moving, it's probably bent. If you rotate that rim to the front and the steering wheel starts shaking, it's definitely bent.

Crash712us Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'd say it's definitely bent, looks like its cracked as well. But there are places out there that can fix it like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then I have an appointment at my Ford dealer tomorrow 11am. Edit: Does this seems legit? 2013 OE SHO wheel, 20in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigPelo Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Better quality picture, it's definitely cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I take it you didn't get the wheel insurance? Would have paid for it self, except never say you curbed only cover pot hole damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigPelo Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I take it you didn't get the wheel insurance? Wasn't aware there was such a thing.... Wheel insurance with the dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah ford offers it, I believe it was $400 and I believe it covers any wheel you have on car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Also, your insurance should cover it, minus what ever the deductible amount. I know when I had mine replaced the retail was about $750.00 per wheel. Good luck in getting it repaired or replaced....look on the bright side, at least there isn't any body damage. Don't know if it is true but when I bought the extended warranty, the dealer stated that it would cover wheel replacement...now I haven't looked to see if that was accurate but if you have an extended warranty, you might want to look into that route.

goblues38 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 That will buff right out Sorry. Had too. the bright side is, that wheel is cracked, so you have to replace it, versus living with a scuffed wheel. i was jacking around in the rain the other day and thought i curbed a rear wheel. i got extremely lucky the tire to the hit, not the wheel.

casperl878 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 sorry to hear and see this, at least wifey was ok and safe, and i wouldnt go thru your insurance as most people have a $500 deductible and im sure u can shop around and buy a new rim for around that price, good luck buddy, anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I curb one of my brand new TSW's and had repaired for $150 and looks like brand spanking new. If you cant find someone local to do the repair I can get you info of the place here in detroit. this place I found online $395 exchange http://www.wheelcollision.com/fd022.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Actually, if your wife didn't hit another vehicle, it might be covered under your comprehensive, and then there is no deductible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigPelo Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I do have the extended warranty. I request a quote for repair: CAN$175 but it might leaves a white mark where the welds applied. I should know more at lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigPelo Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 The wheel wasn't repairable. I had to buy a new one, CA$500 + taxes. Good side, suspension isn't broke, only a alignment is needed. I should have my car back tonight. Then I will need to install my winter tires. Freezing rain today :smow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigPelo Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Took the car back yesterday. Damn! it feels good to drive my car again! I really missed it, I love the SHO so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
