Had a unfortunate encounter with the mother of all pot holes which resulted in 2 bent wheels. Dealer called this morning quoting $2700 to replace both wheels (not including alignment). I've filed a insurance claim so if I elect to replace versus repair the wheels it won't be out of my pocket, but still...$1300 per wheel? I verified this price with 2 separate dealers so I tend to believe it's true. Anyone on here have experience or another means of verifying this quote?

These are the wheels in question. They were the no cost option if memory serves me correct. I wonder what the forged wheels run???

$1150 per from my go-to source. Plus shipping.

Might get lucky and find a cheap set on ebay.

Wow! Guess I should have considered the wheel and tire insurance my dealer offered me a little harder! I think it was $1000 for the insurance with the option to add coverage to my winter wheels and tires for like $250...

For $2700, I would think about some aftermarket wheels...nice aftermarket wheels!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune

As I understand it, the wheel and tire ins. only kicks in if there is a verifiable air leak. I, much to my amazement, don't have that trouble. And to your comment about aftermarket wheels, that was my exact thought except the vehicle is a lease due back in just over a year so I need functional OEMs.

may be too soon to find some but did you search ebay for some "new take offs" you can prob buy a whole set from someone for under 2k

I think you should repair the wheels rather replacing it. As you say, it will costs more. It is obvious these days due to the hike in car price values. So, the car parts also having more cost prices right now. So, the repairing and service charges also quite at higher side. But, in spite of all these We have to pick an affordable car repair and service center for the better and cheap repair of the car wheels.
