Question GXL/Sport Rims...?
Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get a replacement GXL style rim (at least I think it is a GXL)? Anyways it's the one pictured below. I had a blow out the other day in the rain on the interstate, I saved my car for the most part but a new rim is definately needed now. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I found one website which was selling them new for $182....per rim! That's a bit much for me so I was wondering if anyone knew a good source to score one. Thanks.

-Aj

Your best bet is to check the For Sale section on the board.

Post in the regional section. People usually give those rims away for little or no money.

$182 is not too much for a brand new wheel IMHO, provided it is Genuine Mazda and not a 'fixed' wheel. Your picture looks like one I've seen on e-bay...

Yes, check the regional forums...

I believe they are made by Volk, but dont quote me on that. I have a set of 4 for sale w/ new tires, but am only willing to sell all 4. I'm sure you can find a single rim locally.
