My lying eyes see 10 inches with the bend.

 

All done, super smooth ride home, no rattles but still gets that grind as I make a sharp turn into the drive so still has me believing its wheel bearings/hubs.

Now the bad....
While installing the new tires, something slipped and boogered up a wheel, so they are looking for a replacement... I told them if they cant find one, Im good with another full matching set of chrome or aluminum wheels, I just dont want steel wheels with hubcaps.

 

You have steel wheels with covers now.

 

Nope those are plastic clad 17 inch aluminum G6 rims.

 

Still steel with plastic glued on instead of bolted on.

 

And ugly as sin, I have mine mounted with winter tires , the chrome has started to pit and peel.

 

I thought those were alloy wheels with glued-on chromed plastic covers. Pretty neat, look great after years on salty Winter roads. No peeling chrome like some chrome-plated alloy wheels.

 

No chrome rims for me anymore.. Only polished / clear coated alloy rims..

 

Told my son in law tonight Id be happy if they just bought me a nice set of custom wheels LOL
The shop has to eat the costs as it was their mistake, wait and see what happens.

Yeah I was really surprised when I saw it, I thought the spokes were about gone and he explained its just a cladding... Ive never seen anything like these, learn something new .

 

They are not cheap
