Source for reconditioned factory 18 inch wheels with good warranty? (1 Viewer)

[John E Davies]

I am looking for a set of 4 2013 style wheels like this:

at a good price, but I am seeking the best refinish work and a long cosmetic warranty. I do not want to screw around with poor workmanship and the clearcoat falling off in a couple of years. Any recommendations?

I found this link, the price is just $127 shipped, but there is no warranty listed. I did ask the seller about it.....
69618 Factory, OEM Reconditioned wheel 18 X 8; Silver Metallic Full Face Painted | eBay

This one is $20 more but has a lifetime warranty, but they only have one available....
Toyota Land Cruiser 2013-2015 18" Factory OEM Wheel Rim 4261160A50 69618 | eBay
I am also looking for like-new takeoffs- got a link for me? I don't want to buy used wheels that are scratched and curbed.

I plan to use my existing wheels for winter and the new ones for the rest of the year.....

Thanks,

Remember to check the MUD classifieds. Lots of owners may have like-new take-offs sitting around for sale.

Classifieds: Tire & Wheel

And, I've never heard of a wheel cosmetic warranty? Does that exist?

I am watching the Classifieds, and I created a Wanted thread there. The second link I posted has a lifetime warranty:

Lifetime Warranty: Our wheels are guaranteed cosmetically and structurally for life (chrome, road hazards and wheel weights corrosion excluded). It does not matter who had us repair the wheel, who paid for it, when it was repaired, or if you lost the receipt...

Yep, that is pretty darned unusual! My concern is if the paint starts to come off, which has happened to me with reman wheels, every now and then you get a bad one.

I've had the mobile rim repair guys fix curbed Passat rims that were painted, when they were done you couldn't even tell. How about just run what you have and get them cleaned up / reconditioned in your driveway every few years. I think it was about $100 a rim? They didn't even have to take the tire off. I skeptical but was impressed when they were done.

I don't need to get my wheels fixed, they are in decent shape. I am looking to buy additional ones so I can run two sets of tires.

John, can you post up the shipping address they came from after you get them? (Assuming CARiD ships directly from the reconditioner.) Thanks.

I hope you will tell me why you want to know! Three came all at once from:

Wheel Distribution Center
1870 Riverfork Dr
Huntington IN

The fourth arrived today, a week late, with no shipping notification or tracking number.

C2C Tampa
8820 N Maislin Dr
Tampa FL

All boxes were undamaged, all wheels look excellent on the outside, a couple are less than great on the inside but I am OK with that.

Thanks John - I work in the auto parts business and know there's not too many places to source wheels like these, so I was just curious where they would come from. Hope you like 'em!

There is a set floating around San Diego for $500

????? I imagine there are a few sets floating around the TX and FL coasts also.
