WTB: 2011 Koup SX Gunmetal Wheel(s)

[tyzall1584]

Just found out today that one of my 2011 SX gunmetal wheels is bent. I am just looking for one, but likely I know I will have to buy all 4. Kia wants to charge over $400 for one...not gonna do it. Anyone willing to part with one or all 4 of their wheels. Please let me know asap as I dont want to drive on this bent one too long. Thanks in advance!

Once I get the car and you still need them, I'll let you know. Maybe $600 + ship for all 4 plus tires?

[tyzall1584]

I will have to think about it. I dont need the tires as I just got new ones. I am toying around with the idea about getting some aftermarket wheels. Depending on how quickly you can get your car and my Christmas plans and yours for that matter, I might try to pick them up instead of shipping them. I have some family down in Dallas that I might visit and since I would be coming from VA I would be travelling through the northeastern part of GA. I wonder if the wheels would even fit in the Koup haha.

[DevilsX]

They will. They come from another Koup...but yes I don't mind if we meet and do a swap. The thing is. What are you running on? Stock wheels? If so, what kind?

[tyzall1584]

I am running on the 2011 stock gunmetal wheels right now. just needed to replace the one, but since it was so expensive to buy that one from the dealer, I figured I would consider other options.

[DevilsX]

So it's bent, but still driveable? Or like really really bent.

[tyzall1584]

Its bent and just driveable. I am not going to drive it more than I have to at this point.

This picture also made me realize that I need to touch up my calipers haha.

I actually think after getting some inspiration and info from kellykia I might be getting these wheels: 17x7.5 Drag DR-19 Gunmetal Wheels

If you want to save money, look for an alloy wheel repair company and they should repair it for around $100, I had mine repaired

[tyzall1584]

Thats a good suggestion, thanks! I have emailed a couple sources that sell the sedan 10 spoke silver wheels bur so not list the ones I am looking for in hopes they could get me a new wheel. They were selling for 175 each so less than half the price of the dealer. I will be looking into alloy repair companies tomorrow :-)

[DevilsX]

Yeah i had a wheel and tire protection plan on the koup.

You are the man!! Thanks so much. Now I feel obligated to help you get a new shifter boot in your car :-) Next spring when it gets warmer again (I say this after 70+ degree days haha) we need to meet up and I will help you get a new boot in your car. I may ask your assistance on debadging and replacing the emblems on my car.

No problem man.. We need to get at least five people to do a meet/cruise... VA needs to poop some Forte's.... Weather has ugly and I'm all up for the boot.. I just ordered the LED kit from Dynamic and their switchback. After that red LEDs are going in the car

Not gunmetal, but here's a website that sells them.
