Where Do You Get Spare Wheels?

[Thelen]

Not sure where to post, but I'm getting desperate... I have no spare and my 4th wheel has damage so I don't want to drive around on it much incase anything happens.

I've called half of melbourne and no one can sell me a wheel. maybe im not asking the right questions, i don't care if it is the same rim style etc, just as long as it is mechanically fine (ie right size, wearing, offset for ATESSA etc)...

anyone have any clues? i don't want to buy a set of 4 just to have 1 spare lol.. i don't have exact offset etc, but its 17" R32GTR 89

Tried "Niswreck" in SA?

[Thelen]

think i need something a bit closer than SA

they don't have to be skyline wheels, why can't i just use some standard 17" i'm not going to be drifting with them, so it doesn't have to be exact, just enough to keep me out of trouble while i get the damaged one fixed.

Have you tried any of the wreckers to get hold of a space-saver spare?

If it's only going to be a "spare", then it doesn't have to be 17". Try for a 15" or 16".

[Thelen]

i must be using the wrong language, cos i spoke to 4 wreckers and they said they couldn't help me....

i realise probably 15" is 'fine', but surely 17" is 'required' for it to be all OK?

[Thelen]

oh and i don't mean spacesaver, i mean normal.. i won't be keeping it in the car, sub in boot bolted down.

Just buy sone stock rims. I've seen plenty of r33/s15 etc rims go for only a couple of hundred a pair. Drifters love them an there are plenty around if you go looking.

[Thelen]

plenty around where? i haven't seen such an obvious for sale threads :S
