My 19" Fondmetal wheels were destroyed!!

It says on the site that they come with blank center caps. The LS caps might fit as well but it's not surefire.

The stock LS caps are 2 1/4" and the specs say the opening on those XC90 19" rims are 2 1/2"...so it looks like the LS caps will not fit without some sort of modification/adapter.

If it wasn't for the that minor thing, I'd already have a set of these with 255/40/19's on the LS.
 
The other thing about those wheels is that they weigh 38lbs a piece!! I asked the seller. I got a call from the tire change insurance center and they said they are going directly to Fondmetal in Italy to get me brand new wheels!! We will see the outcome, im not holding my breath.
 
Well, I might be able to hold my breath now. They located a new set of these Fondmetals wheels getting shipped from Italy to a wheel distributor in Canada. They said they would be able to get them to me shortly. They will call me with an exact date today or tomorrow.

For some reason this wheels isnt being sold in the US but so far Ive seen them in England, Italy, Australia, and now Canada.

Must be our weak exchange rate.
 
Now you just started a post war for people wanteing to buy the damaged wheels if you're able to keep them!:D
 
Only 2 were damaged. Im getting those refinished professionally by a wheel repair place, so they will be practically brand new. The insurance place is only replacing 2 wheels that I know of. There is one brand new 9x on Ebay, so someone would only have to find one more and the place that carries these Fondmetals is in Canada.
