need a new wheel

shanepez · Jun 18th, 2005, 03:06 AM

I just had to get one of my tires replaced, and the guy recomended getting two of them replaced so i did that. I kept the tire that didn't pop and now I want a full sized spare. Where do you guys think that I can find a stock rim for cheap? I have been looking on eBay, and I haven't been able to find one.

What would one of these cost me?

Or should I just go to the junkyard and buy some random rim and stick the tire on that because it is just going to be a spare. Also, if I do this, what size of wheel should I ask for at the junk yard? I think my car is a 16" X 6.5"

Thanks!

yeah, just get a cheap steel wheel from a junkyard. all they have to do is hold a used tire on them until you can get home and get to a tire shop. it doesn't have to be pretty.

16 x 6.5" would be close enough. the factory are either 6.5 or 7" wide..
