Single Wheel or Spare To Loan in Seattle

Need either a 17" or 18" wheel, preferable OEM but aftermarket may work too. Just need to borrow it for 30 minutes or so to test a noise issue on my car. The dealer is blaming my aftermarket wheels and I need to confirm if this is true. If you have a wheel you can lend for just a few minutes please reply or PM me! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, looks like that's about 45 minutes away for me so I'll see if anyone closer can help out first. If not I'll PM you.

have you tried to demand that the dealer supply the OEM wheel for this test? If they are trying to weasel out of a repair then they should be able to cough up a spare rim

I didn't demand to see it myself, but after picking up the car last time (when I brought it in for this problem) I still felt unsettled about it. I called and spoke to the shop foreman, who diagnosed the issue as the wheels, and he invited me to come by another time and they'll put the stock wheels on for me and demonstrate there is no sound. I doubt he's BS'ing. But since I have to take it in AGAIN, this time for what appears to be a failing rain sensor, I might as well ask them to put on stock wheels so I can see it for myself. It's a love/hate relationship with this car.
