I'm doing a medical rotation down in Big Sur. On my way up to Monterey last night I nailed a rock with my right front tire. I bent the wheel and destroyed the tire. Nobody hurt, though!

Anyway, does anyone have a stock steelie and/or stock tire they're willing to part with? I'm staying with my (future) in-laws, so I can't buy all 4 wheels. All I need is 1 15" steel wheel from a xB or xB (or Echo?). If there's a 185/60 tire on that wheel, that's a bonus.

I posted this over at Scion Evolution, and Stylis has offered up a wheel, but he's 2 hrs away. I'd be willing to go there, but I'm wondering if anybody's closer. Not that I don't want to meet the infamous Stylis, just lookin' for options.

 

I feel ya on that one, driving two hours on a donut is not the best way to go, but if there is no other way.

Anyone in the montery area with an extra stock wheel and tire?

 

Dave from Steven Creek Scion is here and says he would be able to give you one as well.

 

I think I'm going to borrow my in-laws' Jeep to cruise up there. It's probably safer and definately quicker than driving w/ the donut.

Thanks a bunch for your help, Gabe. I'll see you on Monday!

 

See you than! :D

 

What time ? maybe I'll stop by , call me Gabe.

 

I'll give you a call, derek is supposed to be at the shop around 10am or so.

 

We're going to leave in about 20 minutes or so. Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier! I'll probably be up there around 11:00 or so.

 

Thanks a whole bunch, Gabe. I felt kinda bad splitting so quickly, but I wanted to tell you thanks one more time. I really appreciate your help, man.

Dave, it was cool meeting you!

Mad props to the Nor-Cal guys!

 

No problem brother! I was only too happy to help you out in your time in need. Tim and Dave were also happy to be there to meet you and hook you up with some goodies for the ride back home. :D
