Dealership curb rashed front wheel!

They don't fit the set, and IMHO - they are not very pretty either. Sorry for being a prig to prick your balloon.

you could never be a prick !

Went back to the dealership yesterday and we are all completely confused now. The service manager was able to see the difference between the two rims which was great. We looked at the back of the original rim and it does not have the J5230 number (like the other front wheel) on it but the J5210 plus the KIA stamp. They are going to order the J5230 to see if it has the wider "bezel" around the edge. Crossing my fingers that it does. I asked about fixing the original wheel but the service manager didn't think that was possible since it's a machined wheel and the gouges in it were too deep. It's going to take at least ten days for the new wheel to come in and I really hope it matches the others. I will update when the wheel comes in. Thanks everyone for the input!

There really shouldn't be any confusion with this: but there is. The dealer you are working with can be forgiven. Don't burn your bridges too soon, is my advice. (I'm sure you won't, because of the lack of alternatives.)

Definitely much confusion, as you can see by what you found on the internet, too. The service manager has been very accommodating so I'm hoping this is the start of a good relationship with this dealership but I'm being very cautious, Time will tell.

The 20th anniversary edition we got in Canada had a very similar BUT slightly different wheel , I'll bet thats what you got , from your pics I would say thats the answer , maybe ask for all 4 of them !

Good luck

I definitely did not get that wheel and they are completely different looking, but thanks!
