I recently purchased a used 05 Gt that has some rim damage on one of the wheels. Looks like my rims are the ones that look like this:

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=7868

but my rims are the grey painted/coated ones. It is unclear on the ford site if these rims are what are on my car. I do have the order code the dealership entered when the previous owner ordered the car. Any of you know where I can find a replacement rim, or if it is possible to get a 3inch gash fixed on the lip of a rim? Any help is appreciated.

Those would be the 17" standard cast aluminum wheels.

Many are putting aftermarket wheels on so there should be some barely used rims available. Also check with the dealer or wheel shop for a take off.

Cost to repair is often 2/3 cost of a new one. Repaired rim will not be as strong and might be unsafe--looks easy to me!

Check ebay. I have seen alot of new takeoff wheels and tires on ebay. Also, I dont know if it will work but you could try steeda or saleen. They replace the stock rims on all thier cars. Who knows what they do with the originals.

a wheel repair will run about $120 to $150 and will be good as new try a discount tire to send to wheels america for you also try calling saleen and ask for the number for diversified marketing
