Default Front Wheel Replacement Cost

I am rather embarrassed to say that I totally screwed my Front Wheel and Tire up, by going over a curb. Have not done that in 25 years. Unfortunately ,they both have to be replaced. Does anyone know roughly the price I will have to pay for the 20 spoke wheel that comes on the 2017. I am totally bummed. If anyone has a mint one for sale ,I would love to buy it. Thanks for the help guys, such a D__K move by me!

Those wheels are readily available on the classified section of this forum. I recently got a full set of wheels with oe tires for much less than 1500. Watch that area and jump on what you see. I'm keeping both sets for right now (1 track, 1 street) until we buy out the lease. Then I'll probably upgrade the street set to a proper aftermarket set up.
You may have to get two to keep the seller happy, but then you could have one to sell to somebody in your situation. Don't forget front and rear are different sizes!
good luck on your search

Dealer wants 2300 for a brand new rim, that is crazy! However he says the company the use can refinish the wheel and make it look 95 % perfect( They saw a picture). Anybody re-do this wheel before. The paint looks awful hard to match, guess I have nothing to loose.... Advice would be appreciated for one **** owner!

People refurbish their wheels all the time. Cost 100-150. Flawless unless look up close

I had a catastrophic blowout on my right front wheel on my ISF. Drove on the wheel rim until I got her slowed down. Had the wheel refinished, and you couldn't tell, even up close. When I sold 'em, I told the buyer about it, and he couldn't tell either.

Thats great, but I am the one that looks up close so hoping it would be close to new or why refurbish if you really would like it nice?

I curbed one of my '12 ISF wheels actually pulling up to the Dealership a few weeks ago😑!
$129 and the dealership make it like new, 99.999% perfect! The best $129 I've spent in a while, lol.

there are a few shops around that repair and refinish wheels, and do excellent work. I got one wheel done and I could not tell where was the curb rash. just look online foe a shop, you could look up videos of the process in you tube. no need to pay for a new wheel.

woodranch I sent you a PM. I Work with perfection wheel. I can get you my discount if you go that route. 25% off. So it would bring your total to around $550. They do top notch work and stand behind their product. you have my number if you decide to go that route.
