The problem is insurance will only cover replacement and I don't have the money to spend...that $500 I'm saving is key for me right now.
Give me a couple more months and I will start building the Cobra up...I promise :burnout:

you should pull it out the shop and spend 1200 and buy parts yourself and pay someone to install. you could have a very nice built rear for that much
edit- if if im not mistaken you can take the 1200 and do as you please just if you have anymore damage there would be no way to get a supplement check from the ins. comp

Yeah I could...I am kind of in a rush as the car is a DD (for a few more months!) and didn't feel like going through the hassle.
No worries guys, it will be built...I promise.
update:
Dealership can't find OEM wheel...neither can I...:nonono:Stuck at the dealership until I can find one it appears. Anyone know a site that still sells them? I've used up everything that I know, nothing on ebay currently either.

just get an aftermarket one
lol again i'm having the same problem...I would just upgrade all 4 rims but i REALLY don't have the $..I suppose if i have too i'll get a 98 since that's what i want to upgrade too but that's my last resort...my car will look pretty goofy for a while.
Did you try Steve at http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=322845
i have extras. but they have road rash preaty bad. is your old one bent so bad you cant drive on it ? just till you find a new one?
Yeah it also chipped where the tire sits bad enough that the tire won't sit back on it 100%.
How bad are your old ones? Capable of getting a picture up? I'm not too picky this will only make me upgrade the wheels sooner
If I were you, I'd buy a replacement wheel elsewhere. Ford will charge about $400 for the wheel!
+1....The BFG KDW2's are very good in wet conditions!!!
Got a link to where one is? I can't find one ANYWHERE>
i can get some pics after work today!
appreciate it
you can have the rim, just pay shipping, its preaty beat but not bent!

Oh my god so you're never gonna believe this...
I call them last Friday to get the 411 on 98 rims...guy tells me he ordered them but won't know if he gets them until TUESDAY...whatever...I tell my stepdad who's more pissed than I am I think who calls the manager and wants to know what's going on...guy says he'll look into it and get back to him. He calls back, says it WILL be here Tuesday.
So guess what? Guy calls me to tell me he can't them LOL. I'm literally laughing on the phone...this is a joke. So I'm gonna have to order the wheels today or tomorrow (most likely tomorrow) and wait for them to come in, which is what I wanted to do Friday so they could be in this week.
These guys are crazy if they think I'm not getting some money off for all this nonsense. Car is about to be in the shop for a MONTH over an axle and a wheel...completely unacceptable.
If you're in Orlando, do not take your car to Greenway Ford.
More updates soon....
