    New super duty member in the Detroit area

    Hello everyone, new member here from the Detroit, Michigan area. I've got an 05 F-250 Harley Edition bone stock except for the exhaust with about 110k on it. Been a great truck so far and have enjoyed it for the last 15,000 miles but noticed a pretty severe crack in a back wheel recently. Now trying to track down a replacement wheel if i can't get this welded (which seems unlikely) for a reasonable cost, but you'd think these wheels were made of gold or something.

    Aside from the wheel, if anyone has a black carbon style armrest lid with the clip, i'm looking to get one of those as i'm tired of being blinded by the Harley plaque.

    A few of you may know me from LightningRodder and LightningGarage as i have the same username there.

    Here's a couple pics:





    The bad wheel:





    My Lightning:





    And here is Enzo, my co-pilot:

    I managed to get a pretty good deal on a replacement wheel on ebay the other day, under 300 shipped which is pretty good considering Ford values the wheels at like $1300 A PIECE!!!

    More about me and the truck... I'm a service tech / programmer for industrial robots and the truck gets me to all the different plants within a days drive. It's WAY more truck than i need, but i average ~16.5 mpg highway and that's pretty good to me. Reason i bought the truck is i figured the resale value would always be pretty decent for it no matter how many miles i put on it, and i can get anything done without ever being limited by my vehicle again. I sold a pretty nice G8 GT for this truck primarily because i was tired of going to Home Depot and not being able to get any lumber or sheets of anything. Problem solved. That sort of work is beneath my Lightning...
