Thanks. Now trying to find the exact 2008 model rim like the one below. I believe 2008 was gunmetal while 06-07 was silver




Does this look like the 2008 rim to you. Looks like it might be silver one.:

Or is it these

Or this:

At this rate I might just play it safe and have mine repaired. It is bent a little and is out of round

I believe the name of the wheel color was "Liquid Graphite."

I think the '08 wheel is the right one or the first link in your last post.

Yeah, the 2008 versions are expensive. Just getting mine fixed. But the rims just aren't bent but basically shifted so it's a big mess. Now I have my snow tires back on and getting a whirring noise. I'm thinking the bad rim caused my bearings to go bad. Have to look into that
