NEEDED - one black 5 spoke factory 2017 wheel

[Magnified]

So, found out today that these aluminum POS wheels are easily damaged. Have one that is out of round. Anyone have a single they're willing to sell, or know of one of the wrecking yards that has one? It is a bridge around here (expansion joint) that did it. So, that's the source of the shake.

So not being a wise ass. Which one is the P.O.S. The factory non vertical or the PK near vertical. Can't tell if your replacing a PK with the quality factory or factory is POS and you just need replacement.

Interesting. Aren't the factory 5deeps forged? Seems to be misleading info about that all over the internet but I found a brochure from 2017 that say they're forged. #11 below.

I would try eBay, reconditioning places & the bone yards, lots of single wheels there. Don't see them much on the forums.

How much would a new wheel cost from the dealer?

Here's a listing from Detroit Wheel

I've used this place recently to get some parts and it worked out well

What about a rim straightening place near you?

My tire shop guy called Dodge while we had the wheel on the machine. $1200.

lol, no place is near me. But I hadn't thought of that. Maybe worth checking out. Had some Benz S500 wheels that were trashed in an accident and one of those places made them look perfect.

All the HC wheels were forged aluminum. Aluminum can deform easily (even that thick). Guy that manages that shop has one more deformed than mine on his Corvette. I don't remember hitting anything other than that expanding misaligned expansion joint (in the right hand lane of the highway the gap is so large that cars and trucks are actually eating away the concrete). Shame is, two years ago they came through here with a crew that repaired every other problem expansion joint on every I-20 bridge in this county. Will probably be years before they get back to it. All the oil field traffic really has wrecked these roads. Especially massive overweight trucks; took out one overpass (from above). And the over heights have destroyed two over passes from below (one of which was torn down and left "out" for nearly a year, only now have they started to replace it.

Yea just bc the SRT wheels are forged doesnt mean they are that much stronger.
I’ve literally bent rims on the 4 SRT products I have had so far.
And I am very cautious here in NYC and each time I cant pin point where exactly the rim(s) got bent. Lol
