What did you pay to true the rim? What is the rim material?

That's great to know. I recently gave away a set of 4 wheels since two were bent - one badly. If they were trued, I fear they would not stand up to
repeated abuse in Baja and could possibly fail. No Bueno!

The rims are aluminum. I think it was $125.00. The replacement from Ford would have been $450.00.

The cast aluminum wheels I was running cost $130 each, and they were replaced by rims that cost the same price.
Thanks for the info,
