I need a replacement wheel for my sister's Mercury Cougar, can't figure out what brand they are though to order one. I don't know what the logo means, if it means anything. Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated. If it helps any they are 18" Chrome, with 4 x108 bolt pattern.

Looks like this:





Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure but mine have a similar emblem and could be a variation or an update, mine are Carusi.

Look the emblem.

Hey bro, those are Helo rims in that picture.

Yeah I know the pics are massive, sorry guys for that, I used Photoshop and reduced the pixels like I always did, but for some reason the pics didn't shrink. Didn't have any time to fool with it.

Anyways, I didn't do anything, it's my sisters car, she just got a flat tire the other day, so we pulled the rim off only to discover that it was bent in 2 places. So I'm just trying to help her figure out some options for getting it fixed and/or replacing it.

Anyone know if it is possible to salvage a bent rim and if so how? Thanks for the help!

Oh, and thanks for the help Kansas GTP! It's appreciated... cheers

We have a wheel shop here that can repair some rims that are bent. They do a lot of work for my company. Bad thing is, there is no way to tell if he can fix, and how much, till he sees the rim.

Did your sister buy those wheels or did they come with the car? You may want to try going to a place like Discount Tire. They always have a bunch of catalogs that you can look at. And not all of those custom wheels are available on their website. They may also have an old catalog from Helo that would at least tell you the name of the wheel. Good luck.
