Damaged wheels 2014 Ruby Red, SE Screw

[CruizRaptor]

A few weeks ago I brought my truck in to a local tire and wheel provider (big company on the west coast) looking to purchase a new set of tires for my 2014 Ruby Red Metalic SE Screw.

Long story short, the geniuses damaged all my rims by trying to remove my old tires without removing the beadlocks first... All the rims and beadlocks have been badley marked, as well as the center caps.

After a little back and forth, their insurance company would like to cover the cost to puchase the same SE Wheel that comes stock with my truck. They provided an estimate referencing the ford racing beadlock rim that you can find on the ford racing site. My question is that, is this the same rim that comes stock with my SE 2014? It doesn't appear to have the same red accent. I've tried doing some research but I'm having a tough time finding this exact rim on the manufactures site, that shows the accent, and I want to be sure that im being reimbursed for this exclusive rim that came with the 2014 SE Raptor. Does anyone know where I can find the cost on this exact rim from the manufacturer?

Your best bet would be to go to a Ford dealer and look up the part using your VIN. These SE beauty rings are hard to come by. You may want to ask the parts guy to call his supplier (Ford?) before placing the order, just to verify that you are actually getting the SE rings with the red SVT. GL

Take the money for those ford racing wheels (which are not the same ring) and I have a new OEM SE set for sale that you can buy and pocket the difference.

Yep... what he said. That check should be more than $2500. You can buy SE wheels for well under that.

The stock wheels are like $1800 each. If insurance is covering make them pay the full stock price. All body shops have the price list. The Ford racing is a true beadlock and if I remember correctly they are not DOT approved for on road use.

Well the insurance appraiser representing the tire company said that he contacted three different wheel repair specialist and they all refused to fix my rims due to liability issues associated with fixjng beadlock rims and the concerns of meeting aesthetic standards. They provided an estimate to replace each wheel, using the beedlock that is available to purchase through Ford Racing, which is not the same SE stock rim... I corrected the appraiser by providing the SE stock rim, which cost $2,335.87 per wheel and $31.15 per center cap.
I think they shit their pants. Following the appraiser sending the correct wheel cost to the insurance company, they immediately proposed to have another wheel company look at my wheels to confirm what the three other wheel company's had said. I refused their request and said I will only accept their appraisers recommendation to replace each wheel.

Post pics of the damage. Curious how bad it is?
I heard awhile back someone went to Firestone and they got messed up, got a check for over $8k. I would gladly let someone mess mine up for $5k.....
