To replace just 1 damaged wheel on a 2016 fiesta. Everywhere I know only sells mags and I'm not about to buy a full set.
Looking for (I think) 4/108

Had the same issue recently, ended up getting it repaired. All of the places I spoke to told me I could only get them from Ford themselves. I think it was about R2k.

I used Mag Repair centre in Rivonia.
 
I got in CT through a friend who worked at a tyre shop. Perhaps a wrecking yard?

Scrap yards. Not sure if they come with a full size spare or not as that will probably be in good condition.

Just repair the damaged one though.

Just have the VIN handy, unless you call a dealer she's been to before for service or whatever. They don't all use the same wheel so they need to be able to look it up to verify the correct wheel for the car.

It wasn't a pothole that was hit, it was a crater leading to the underworld, so its bent in multiple places

Have you checked with mag repair places. You’d be surprised at what they can repair. The fiesta is not a high performance vehicle…. Unless you have steel rims on an ST so a repair should be fine. I repaired golf GTI rims previously without any issues.

Otherwise, check the smaller dodgy type tyre shops, they know people changing rims to mags

Ouch, I've had to deal with one of those a couple months back on a 18inch rim for my car. I came around the corner and bam! death pit from the underworld. I wasn't going particularly fast ,like 20kph or something, but poof went my tyre. I put my spare on and immediately went to get it checked out. Luckily my rim wasn't damaged but a new tyre was a bit over R2k to get a matching one. Most I've ever spent on a car tyre before.
 
Just walk around your local shopping center with a wheel spanner? ;P

There’s a couple of adverts on scamtree for people stripping fiestas.

This season, I’ve noticed some seriously big craters on the roads. There’s always been potholes but this time around, they are really big and deep in many urban areas.

It's a scam run by Tiger Wheel & Tire to increase profits.

Yea, Deep ones are the most dangerous ones.
 
Had the same issue with my Fiesta. Ford is your best bet,but expect to pay a whole lot (Around 2.5k). Scrap yards usually have as well. But same as everyone above,try a tyre shop for a rim repair.
 
Give The Wheel Shop a call, they usually have quite a bit of OEM wheels for sale second hand.
 
Scrapyards, Scrapyards ,google and a notebook to write info best bet
 
There's deep potholes and then theres benoni potholes. Wheels dont survive around here. I make a point not to drive to certain places in my car only because of the roads
Benoni potholes xD

Only in SA would a "Benoni pothole" be worse than a "pothole from the underworld"

Or tow truck companies. They find a small pothole and make it bigger. I know in Durban some years ago, they would tamper with thr traffic lights to increase risks of accidents and like vultures, they would park close by.

You know after you defeat Radahn a giant meteor comes crashing down, and when you go to the crash site you find a giant crater that takes you to nokron the eternal city, thats almost as bad as the potholes here in benoni
