2008 Mountaineer
:mad:My wife hit something on the road and had a blow out, further she bent the rim on her 08 mountaineer premier. After searching the web all day i cant find any used satin chrome oem wheels for sale. Any help in locating one would be greatly appreciated. Maybe there is one on this site for sale? again any help would be great! thanks Mike mike35019@aol.com
 






I like the 5 tire rotation so when i looked for my '10 ST, same rim 18" but chrome clad. I didn't have any luck after looking for a month or two, so i went to the dealer, it was only $280.

I picked up My Monty a few months latter and also looked for a rim, 18" Platinum Clad. I too looked ever where. I did find one on fleabay, it was like $350 + shipping or so a while back. I figured the dealer wanted the same price as the chrome one - wrong it was over $700 for essentially the same thing just different cladding. I started talking to the parts guy why the big difference, he just shrugged had no idea, but said he could maybe get an aftermarket through his contacts which is the way i went, came in a little over $360.
 






Depending on how bad it is "bent" it can be repaired. Ask around in your area for shops that do that kind of repair.
