On Amazon, I found this:

Dorman 939-124 Steel Wheel (15x5.5"/5x115mm)

This means replacing a pair of wheels. No big deal I guess except that the car will have different sizes front to back, and if they get mixed up the alignment will not be correct.

Let me know your thoughts, and thanks

 

Go to your local part's store and tell them the make/model/year. They'll be able to get you the right rim. Also, you'll want hub-centric, not universal.

 

Local parts store doesn't carry wheel rims. Already tried. I think the best solution is the Dorman replacement wheel. Finding a 5.0 rim locally would be a stroke of luck. And I can't count on luck at this point.

 

Your advice about lug centric VS lug centric opens a whole new line of inquiry for me. I was clueless. I'm grateful for that bit of advice

 

First, do you have 15" or 16" steel wheels?
My suggestion is to purchase a wheel from eBay or LKQ or a local salvage yard.

LKQ Online

LKQ Online is North America's largest online provider of recycled original equipment (OE) auto parts for cars and light-duty trucks requiring collision or mechanical repair.

Junk yards have told me the first thing they do when a car Arrives is recycle the wheels because they get a lot of money for them. So I've lost hope of finding an original rim.

It's a 15 inch wheel. It's going to be a problem to verify the width sight unseen. 2013 forte is 15x5. Later models are 15x5.5.

I'm going to have to go with the 5.5 on 2 wheels and 5.0 on the other 2. And keep the wheels from getting mixed up.

It could turn out to be a royal pain.

 

Try LKQ They have 15" steel wheels for the Forte

 

I think I was already there

 

You think you were already there? Well, I KNOW I was there and I KNOW they have 15" rims for Fortes. We're trying to help you bud. Seem like you don't want our help. Good luck with that.
