Not trying to change the subject but on the same note; my dealer, upon inspecting a brake wire at the hub, cracked the hubcap cover by tightening the screw too tight. I couldn't prove it was them but they were the only one to take the cover off. I have to know when to stop when tightening the screw. Here's a pic of a "good" cover.
I believe I still have 2 of these brand new if you need.
I had a set of alloy wheels repaired on a used car a few years ago...you might want to look into that as an option too. They looked brand new when finished.
All TPMS sensors seem to be working. They sent out an independent adjuster that knew right off what they had done. Discount Tire sent me a check for $4077.xx, so all is good. Thanks for all the info everyone.
CHAA-CHING!
If you are going to replace them, check craigslist, I see tons of OEM wheels on there, usually with good tires, for cheap. Then you can turn around and sell yours too!
OEM alloy or chrome clad rims are very expensive if you buy from a Ford dealer, most are around $500 ~ $1500 EA MSRP.
The trick is to buy them from an upfitter type who pulls them as soon as they come in or somebody who has bought a new truck and installed aftermarket wheels. Get them way cheaper that way.
