I agree with Smurf, Matt and the others who posted about it looking like repairable cosmetics. Reassure yourself that is the case, and the dealership is making an all hands on deck effort to restore it 110%. I also agree there likely will be no issue of "diminished value" due to the damage...
w00t! Back in Black! Congrats!
PS: I've contacted my legal representative; r.e. suspected retinal impairment due to tire shine exceeding the Federal legally mandated limit. Nothin' personal, Dude! 😉😆
When I fell "victim" to one of the innumerable Shark Vacuum Cleaner infommercials a while back; I ordered the optional computer/car detailing micro attachment kit. Should be able to get into that rascal and suck out any small debris (I hope). Figured I might have to take the wheel off; we'll...
Thanks for the heads up!
I had them on my Focus RS for the 3 years I owned it. NPs on the install for those. I currently have a set of El Cheapo (small) mud flaps on my GT that are press fits only. NOT optimistic they'll survive the often quite heavy frozen snow/ice debris that can build up...
While you might not have damaged a tire/s; it's possible you've incurred a hairline crack in a wheel (hope you haven't!).
Happened to me in '21 in my Focus RS; no post "bang" shake wobble, pulling left/right, etc; everything seemed fine. Time went on; eventually (a yearish later) I developed...
Had a complete Z23 kit (rotors, calipers, & pads) on my Focus ST---looked great (especially the zinc coated drilled slotted rotors/powder coated calipers), worked great, and VERY low dust! Will likely go with the Z26 pads next spring for my GT! Thanks for the link and tip!
I've swapped out my OEM 265/35/20 all seasons for 285/35/19 summers up front (305s on the rear). My GT is definitely tramlining more now than with the 265s (I expected that based on previous experience).
I'd run with a squared set up. That will allow rotation (every other season/front to back) and add longevity for your snows. If it were me; hands down for our Mustangs; I'd run with 19 x 9 wheels and 255/40/19 snows (they'll wear VERY quickly at over 45F). I endorse Bridgestone Blizzaks...
