Right that!
I'm worried for ya, kboggs. Stay close, we'll try to help as much as we can.

One thing to keep in mind: any time you're looking at something the P.O. jacked-up, remember that it's an opportunity to upgrade.

For instance: you could buy one rear wheel, or you could buy the set of wheels you really want..... feel me? haha:dance:

Haha! I am guessing that you didn't have a pre-purchase inspection (PPI)?

It might be worth the $300 to have a PPI done now just so you know if there are any other issues.

I don't have 2020 (Trump does), but I can see in that first photo those are identical wheels designs.

Look again. He posted a new picture and the driver's rear wheel is clearly different.

OP, where is the 4th S style twist?

Yup, now I see it. Man.... good eye!

So, to the o.p.: I'd be worried about WHY this guy replaced ONE REAR WHEEL.... with the first thing he found on Ebay.
What happened to the other one? A bent wheel could come with a whole SLEW of other rear end issues.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.., something like a damaged wheel hub, bent strut, damaged bearing, should be closely inspected prior/during alignment, hopefully nothing serious..
