    Replacement wheel needed

    Hello everyone! I haven't been on here in a long long time. Had a catastrophic issue with the OEM chrome wheel on my 2003 today. Hubby hit a chunk of concrete in the center of the freeway and severely damaged the rim. I now need to buy a replacement. Any leads on where to get one would be greatly appreciated. Photo of my car so you can see the wheel style. Thanks friends!

    There's one on eBay, Tasha, but the forum won't let me paste the address in. Try searching eBay "2003 Thunderbird wheels." You may have to scroll thru several pages to find the replacement one. It was $375.

    GOT IT!

      Vinnie...I'll check it out, thank you. Another question, I did see on eBay that there was a wheel for a 2004-2005 Lincoln. It looks identical except for the center hub. Do you know if that will fit?

        I don't know, Tasha, but somebody on this forum will know. Hang in there and an answer will come.

          Some folks have found replacement wheels at Midwest (https://midwestwheelandtire.com/whee...03-thunderbird) but they are very pricey.

            Your insurance would likely offer some coverage for this depending on the deductible.

              Tasha, one heckuva good question. Checked out Midwest Wheels web site. Damn, for $599 what a deal!

              Midwest's web site has the 7 spoke chrome wheel listed for Thunderbird and 2004-05 Lincoln LS. Sure looks the same. I have bought more than onE set of Lincoln LS wheels for the winter as they have identical specs and were a direct bolt on. For $99 to your door I'd be on it in a heart beat!https://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-2005-L...d b:rk:11:pf:0
