What does a (1) steelie cost? My wife hit a curb and bent a rim today...have to replace it.

 

bout $50 plus shipping on ebay. at least that's what i paid when i bent 2 of mine in a huge pothole

 

check local wheel shops to see if they have any first...when I put rims on my box I just left the stock wheels behind (which I wish I wouldn't have done now)...I'm sure a lot of peeps do it...ask your dealer too and check with local junk yards too....

 

yeah you can try that i just didn't have any luck with that. called the 3 local scion dealers and 4-5 local rim shops and got a goose egg. worth the calling though

 

Or you can take this oportunity to get some wheels.

But then again your wife mught bend them as well

 

Yeah, I've thought about trying to make the case for nice wheels or even some aluminum Celica wheels that would be better than stock steelies.

BTW, I went to the Toyota dealer today at my inlaws house (I'm on vacation and there's no Scion dealer here in central PA) $116.00 for just the wheel! I didn't bother to check the price on the wheel covers she toasted too...

 

The dealers take off the steelies when they try to rip you off with their $2000 rim packages. Can not believe you can not get one from a dealer cheaper than that. There is a junk yard near me that sells nothing but salvaged wheels. Look for something like that. Keep watching the classifieds also.

 

That’s the great thing about the steelies. If it’s not too bad, they can be persuaded with a hammer or two, to go back in shape

 

It's funny, here Our scion dealers will give you the steelies w/ the purchase of the custom wheels. In other words, you get both custom and stock set as you leave the dealer ship.

 

If this LINK works, they're $65.

If the link doesn't work, it's wheeltechnologies.com

 

she musta hit the curb going in excess of 15mph to bend a stock steel wheel with 185/60/15 rubber

a set of four rims and tires (steelies) takoffs from xa/xb's are as cheap as 200 bucks shipped on ebay.

if she's that crazy of a driver might as well stock up.

 

Ebay is your best bet, and you may even luck out and find somebody local.
