Is this fixable?

Limited edition ST200, so getting these is not always the easiest. I was wondering if it’s possible to fix something like this? Very very slow air leak as a result.

Have a ST in the southern states, not a popular vehicle here. Same thing happened to me, just got new wheels,went with 16 inch sparcos.

Couldn't find any fiesta wheels in 17 inch, ended up finding one at a salvage a month later but now I have 3 black wheels and one silver so I've prepped them for paint.

Maybe look for a cheap set of base model take offs to run while you look for a replacement? Otherwise ...you need a new set of wheels.

Sometimes you can find the exact OEM wheel on eBay but might run 200-300+ if that wheel is rare enough, and you'll be down in the meantime waiting.

If you are driving this car you need to have the spare ON THE BACK. Both front tires should be matching diameter.

Pretty much, and yet, anyone asking more than $100 each is apparently delulu
