I have a bit of a problem on my hands here. Wrecked my 2005 Shinka a few weeks back. I'm ok and the car has resently come back from the shop with great body and paint work done. That’s not the problem.

My problem is that the wheels on the right side had to be replaced. Unfortunately, the "new" wheels don't match the originals. My insurance guy said that they would have to send all four off to be painted in order to get them right (or I can have my body guy paint the "new" wheels to match). Am I paranoid or does that sound totally wrong? I called the Mazda dealer, but they refuse to give me a part number over the phone.

I thought the Shinka wheel was a production part and could be ordered like the regular wheel? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

It is,but I am not at work and cannot quote you the part no.I will get it tomorrow unless it appears before then.

 

Check the For sale section, someone is selling one Shinka wheel for $100

If you want the bodyshop to get the correct wheel the part no is 9965-12-8080.the standard 18 in wheels are 9965-10-8080(U-Mold) or 9965-11-8080 (Hitachi).

 

Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully, I can get the correct wheels this time.
