need a ZL1 1LE front wheel

Loaded Goat · 07-08-2019, 05:11 PM

So, I picked my new ZL1 1LE last monday, while out on my first ride in the car, I hit a pot hole on the highway and bent my left front wheel. 140 miles on the car. Ok, so I get towed about 2 miles to the dealership , I figure Im lucky just a bent wheel, but get this....the service guy says there are no 19x11 wheels in GMs distribution pipeline, WTF , Im dead in the water with my brand new car that I cant get a new wheel for, Does anybody have 1? Does anyone know where I can get 1 ? Help!

There are no ZLE wheels available or scheduled to be produced? That seems like a bit of an issue...I might have to stop using them for track duty if that's the case.

I'd tell them to take one off the lot.

No need to buy a new wheel...

Unless the wheel is VERY bent, even with a big chunk taken out of the edge it can be repaired/re-manufactured to like new condition in a day including clear coat for ~$140. if you have to ship it, it should still be less than a week turnaround.

Many shops that do this very well for about the same price.

I use Wheels America, they do great work:

Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist. They are a national chain, so hopefully there is an shop near you. I am sure they can fix. Might be able to fix while you wait, if it isn't too bad.

Thanks guys, will see about getting it straightened , it doesnt seem too bad, the dealership guys were not wanting to get it fixed, they really wanted to get a new one, it is new and I figure I will just get a new one, but now that they dont seem to be readily available, Im going to get it fixed

Thanks for the lead, are those just like the OEM wheels?

Sorry to hear about your wheel dude. Hope you get it resolved sooner rather than later. I can only imagine how loud/violent it must have felt when you hit that pot hole.

I drove over a small step down on the road this Saturday and it sounded like the front end of the car was going to fall apart. Solid mounted suspensions are something else !!

Loaded Goat · 07-08-2019, 09:42 PM

It hit pretty hard, the suspension is really stiff. Didnt even see it whammm!
I havent even run a 1/4 tank of gas out of it, Im ready to bring her home, i feel like Im being tested

Auto manufacturers are required by US Federal Law to have parts available for any models they sold for the period of 10 years.

False. The OP will look like a complete idiot making that claim to the dealer.

jvandy50 · 07-09-2019, 07:43 AM

OP is right, i was told by dealer they have 2 in California, and it would be 4-6 weeks ship time! how is that possible??

i also hit a pothole and was slowly losing air...thought it was a bent wheel so i was calling ahead, luckily just busted a seam on my 3 day old tire.
