Thanks to the snow storm here on Tuesday, I had a minor run-in with a curb in the form of sliding into it at about 5-10 mph. Following this my steering wheel has been vibrating rapidly while traveling down the freeway. A check-in at Les Schwab confirmed that the stweel wheel is bent and needs replacement.

The local dealer quotes $115 for a new one and while that's likely my best option, I was hoping that someone in the region would have one lying around from a recent upgrade to better wheels.

I'd upgrade m'self, but, that's just not in my budget right now and I'd like to not have to add a new tire and ball bearings into it by driving around with my front wheel vibrating vigerously.

e-mail me at pojodan@hotmail.com if you're in the area and have a steel wheel you could part with.

 

nevermind well check craigslist they are always up for sale they have all for in the seatac one for 65 with tires

 

Checked craigslist.. none for sale in my area, unfortunately.

 

Schwab should have them for like $30, if not try a wrecking yard.

 

yeah look for a 15inch 4x100 steel wheel

 

theres a xb in some wrecking yard in battleground i dont know the name tho but u could look in the yellow pages

 

I have a full set sitting in my garage. Make me an offer on one or all. I don't really want to sell them separate but I may. They are from my 06 with 2500 miles on them.

 

As much as the pack rat in my head squeals at the idea of a full set of xB rims to do odd stuff with, I simply don't have a place for them in my already overstuffed apartment.

I'll be happy to take one off your hands for $50 if you're within vibration range of Portland (Beaverton, to be more specific)

 

Sure, I could do that. I live in McMinnville but work in Clackamas so I can bring one up to work if that is easier. Or meet you somewhere in the middle after work.

 

Hmm. Well, I work till 4 pm M-F and could meet you somewhere around Tualatin if you pass through that area during your commute.

e-mail me at pojodan@hotmail.com if you know a good spot in that area.

 

Just sent you an email.
