One of the alloys on my WS Fiesta has been buckled due to a bloody pothole. The damage appears to be minimal as it is barely visible from some angles. But, according to a couple of alloy wheel repair specialists, the wheel is unrepairable. So I’ve been trying to source a new wheel (the 5-spoke 17 inch factory option alloy).
As with the servicing costs, there seems to be quite a bit of variation in the prices, depending on which Ford dealer I speak to. The prices have ranged from around $415 to $510 per wheel. I can’t understand how there can be more than 20% difference from dealer to dealer on a standard item. One of the dealers told me that the $415 I was quoted from another dealer is below his ‘cost’ price of $450! What a load of BS! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew any other places where I could get one of these wheels (for less than $415). I’m happy to go with a used one if necessary, but I know that this will be unlikely considering the age of the car. BTW... I'm in Victoria. |
