I'll let you know if I can find any of those wheels around here.
Eric's rims look the same as mine, which are Option Code: QP2 = 17" Hi-Polished Aluminum & Clear Coated.

I might be wrong, but I believe the "Plastic-Chrome clad rims" began in 2009 model year..

& Eric, IIRC that one rim for sell was an SS 18"er. But best to check & be sure.

That's the same as my factory wheels..... polished and cleared. Not sure what year Eric's wheels are though, I think they are the same thing.

They are the same as your factory wheels Greybeard. I originally sold the wheels to Eric, I bought them and never did anything with them so I offered them to Eric.

Cool, Eric should PM me then....... Maybe we could work something out if that rim isn't bent or cracked in any way...... If it's usable I was planning on my factory wheels for winter use. Winter wheels don't need to be perfect.

Yeah, I'll let you know! I don't really have the money right now to get a new rim though... I was hoping on maybe even waiting until spring since I don't drive it in the winter. Not sure though.

Well my front end is as aligned as it was, but now that you mention it it does look a little low on the bottom. Pressure is and has been holding steady at 30psi.... Just drove from Fmuth to Grand Rapids and back this weekend, put about 500 miles on and it all seemed fine....

I think it's just the angle of the picture.... I went out and looked at it, and it looks fine, and both sides look the same. I think this picture was taken slightly above looking downward a little, so it might just appear to be like that. Either way, it probably wouldn't hurt to get it checked out...my alignment has been slightly off all year, it's just a money issue now.
