extra spare wheel

Postby leabro on Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:44 pm

Anyone know where in Adelaide I can get an extra emergency spare wheel for my GLXR?
Wheel is 17X7 1/2 J with 38mm offset
Tyre is 245/65 R17
I only want a second hand steel or ally and tread depth is not critical.
None of the wreckers I have contacted have any.
Cheers Leabro

Tried eBay? Tyre shops often have spares out the back too!

definetly try the tyre shops. Im in Darwin and rang the wreckers here and in adelaide with no luck. Then tried the tyre shop whilst getting new tyres. I got a set of 4 for $100. Use the good old Yellow pages and let your fingers do the walking!

Thanks Guys
The trouble I am finding on ebay/gumtree is people are vague in their description or don't know what they are selling i.e. 17 X 7 1/2 J with 245/65 R17 tyres. Will now try Eddy and Oriental wreckers and also do the rounds of the tyre shops although I suspect they are reluctant to sell used rims and tyres. I once tried to get one repaired and all they wanted to do was sell me a new one as they won't repair an unroadworthy tyre (that's the one that's where the side of the tread is a little scuffed!)
If I have no luck then maybe Belbrook is my answer. Will let you know.
Cheers Leabro
