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.

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

 

Or ebay...

 

theres a set of 4 for $75 shipped in the classifieds!!


Good deal!!!

 

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

 

how much do these things weigh? it's not listed in the FAQ.

 

$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...

 

Hey thanks alot guys, I found one I missed in the calssifieds (Good looks 1st7). I'm not sure how much they weigh though.

 

Actually that was the first place I checked, and I surprisingly couldn't find any. That was where I got my rim for my 240sx when I needed one as well.

 

lol look for a week or two, a few should pop up for cheapish...

 

NE1 know what these things weigh? 18 lbs? they feel heavy. p.s. I've heard a roomer that these rims were made by Volk for Mazda.

 

I have one, however i will need a new door stop in return as well as the money.

 

lol you use it as a door stop....

 

I like those rims...

I had mine cleaned and powdercoated...

Good luck finding a replacement - dont expect to pay much for one.

 

they arnt that heavy...seem light to me, tho the 87.5-88 gxl wheels feel a lil lighter...but i could be wrong

 

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.
