Need Help! OEM Wheel in FL? Punctured Rim.
Does anyone in FL have an OEM wheel they are willing to sell? My W166 GLE63s is in Fort Myers due to a utility truck dropping a piece of steel tubing on i75 that punctured my wheel. Im out of town, currently in Tampa and am at a loss.

Ouch!
I am unsure if you had the option for a wheel and tire coverage upon purchase, but this is a great advertisement for it! This wheel is easily $2000. My package cost $2400.
I picked up my GLE63s. Within a week, the tire was punctured and replaced at no cost to me. That’s about $800 and 1/3 of the way to breaking even. Money well spent!

OP try searching your local for sale ads. Clearly you see this forum is very helpful.
Even post a quick ad on CL that youre looking for a wheel. Someone may contact you quicker there.
Glad youre safe from that.

Hey guys, thanks for your input and suggestions. I couldn't find anything local. Luckily the guys at Discount Tire in Fort Myers are stand up dudes. I decided to order all new wheels and tires and just call it a day. They are rushing the delivery and will hopefully be installed next Wednesday. I'll have to make the 2 hour drive over to pick it up but at least it's sorted out. Im just baffled at how it blew out a section of the inner barrel. I wish I could have caught the trucks information but I was too focused on watching where that tubing was going to go. What a mess. But, I'll post picture of the new set up once its installed.

A 21" GLE63 wheel is $1911and a tire depending on brand is $350 to $450. A Conti is $350 while the Michelin is $450 which you probably know. I bpought one recently. There was no fixing the wheel for sure and my dealer wanted the core back although there is no fixing yours. That truly sucks but I got the wheel in one day.
