With EV9 Wheel Replacement… What Are My Options?



Just take it to a wheel repair shop. Unless there are any major cracks that can’t be seen in the photos, it looks like a pretty easy fix.

Maybe I can do that, then sell them all four to cover other upgrades.

@Austin
Maybe. But it might not be worth it. These wheels are a bit polarizing… might be better to sell them as individual replacements instead of a set of four, considering repair costs.

Good point

@Austin
I’d be interested in one wheel for a spare.

Are you in Washington? Haha

Lol nah, I’m in SoCal.

Aftermarket wheels depend a lot on the buyer, but Fast Wheels are solid. I’d recommend checking out what they offer.

Crazy insane. A set of GT wheels in Germany costs $2200 with covers. I went for Concaver wheels for summer.

Have you thought about looking online for someone who upgraded their wheels and is selling the OEM ones?

Yeah, I looked around. There are some on eBay, but I think I’d rather spend the money on wheels I actually like instead of getting the same expensive OEM ones I didn’t care for.

Keep one as a spare, I wish I had done that when I had to replace two wheels.

That’s a really good point. I hadn’t thought of that.

Have you had your alignment checked? With those speeds and grooves, the damage might be more than just cosmetic.

Yeah, that was the first thing I did. It was pulling hard to the right, so I had the front end checked and it just needed a realignment. Thankfully, no damage.

We had a kid run into our EV9 GT just 14 hours after getting it. Insurance covered the cost for the wheel repair, $363.33 for the scratched wheel, so two wheels would cost $726.66. We had other damage too, but with insurance, we didn’t pay anything out of pocket.

@Billy
Wow, I guess maybe insurance companies get better rates with the dealer that I don’t get?

Is it a lease?

Yes, it’s a lease. I went with that option because the rebate was better, and in the long run, it made more sense financially. After the two-year lease, I’ll have paid just over $62k, including a bumper-to-bumper warranty for up to 150k miles. I drive 100 miles daily, so a regular lease wouldn’t work for me with the mileage limits.
