Default I need a fucus rim quick!

I was driving in the rain yesterday and ended up sliding into a curb. Half of the lip on my rim broke off into 2 pieces.

It also broke my tie rod end (or whatever the ball joint lookin thing is.)

And good old ford spits out they need $250 for a new foci rim.

If anyone know anyone with 1 focus rim I really need it. Free would be great but I'm willing to pay for it. I just don't want to have to resort to the dealer.

Also if anyone could get the part and install it for me, that would be cheaper and friendlier then ford, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks ford crew, and sorry I havn't been hanging around. Havn't been to proud of my new ford vehicle lately. FOCI suck!!

it's a 4X108 lug pattern, find an old EGT in the J/Y with some 7spoke aluminum rims they will fit right in and make it look purty

I got one from Greenleaf with a practically new tire on it for something like 80 bucks give or take. Go over to the Greenleaf on Causeway and ask for Trevor (i think...lmao). Should be able to help you out.

Thanks for the replys!

Fordman, its a 03 Focus Zx3

I can't believe that curb gave me about $2k worth of repairs. It broke the upper and lower tierods, the cv axle, some knuckles and warped my rotor.

Ford quality vs. Curb at 15-20 MPH The curb definatly wins!!

Built ford tough my ass!!! yea FORD is the toughest SHIT to deal with. No one shop at Bill Currie Ford. They sold me a 03 car with 6 miles when I drove it off the lot, and it already had some idiot try to fix the evaparator. Then they accused me of already trying to have someone else fix the problem. "looks like some idiot already tried to fix it, all they did was glue it all together" they said.

Idiots sold me a car that they had to have worked on before it could be sold as new!!

I bet it wouldn't have cost as much if you didn't hit a curb. No Sport Compact Car is made to curb check at 20mph. If you don't like your Ford so much get rid of it and buy a Honda.
