Looking to replace an out of round 20" factory installed wheel on my 2018 GT convertible. At higher speeds vibration is not noticeable but at 30-40 mph can feel some.
Any thought on how to find this?
Thanks.

Have you had the wheel/tire combo checked for balance at a tire shop? Or is the wheel damaged physically?

Your best bet for a single wheel would be eBay.

Why not see if it can be balanced properly?

1. Check for Dirt\Snow\ice build up
2. Balance the wheels.

Took it to two tire shops and both tests showed it to be out of round. Their experience with aluminum wheels is that a warm or hot wheel can bend upon hard impact. I'm the second owner so I do not know it's history. They finally put it on the driver side rear to minimize vibration.
I was hoping someone had some takeoffs which were willing to sell?

You will find plenty of cheap takeoffs here or say Facebook, but those will usually be full sets of 4 and it seems you're only looking for 1. There are alot of vendors on eBay that sell individual parts of wrecked cars, but you rarely see those here.

One thing though...a lot of the times these wheels are reconditioned. They say the match the OEM finish exactly. I would see the price difference of this and new one.. New they can be had for $666 each.

Also, try to road force balance the wheels.

Yikes $400 for one OEM wheel? You can probably buy a whole set for that.
