Anywhere to buy stock wheel and tire?

Z-WHIZ · 01-21-2010, 03:28 PM

Hey everyone, I've been looking to buy a stock sport wheel and tire forever now and haven't been able to find any. I know there have been several sets for sale on the here, but I only really need 1 wheel. Does anyone know if there's any place where i could buy just one stock wheel and tire, preferrably mounted? I know it's a long-shot, but I figured it was worth asking. Thanks

Yep. I curbed one of my rear wheels a while ago and have been looking for a replacement ever since. I had a deal with someone a few months back, but it fell through.

I'm sure your local Nissan parts dept will fix you up.

consider a wheel repair shop? some places make it look like it never happened. depends on how severely you curbed it though.

good luck man, those wheels are crazy expensive. you're probably better off keeping an eye on private sales - but even then i doubt someone will part one out (theyre usually sold as sets).

if i were you i'd either live with it or try to repair just that small section yourself. how bad is the curb damage? pic? the reason i say to just do that section (it wont be perfect though, but better than it is now) is because if you take it somewhere to get professionally repaired, they'll probably repaint the whole wheel.

after my accident, my driver side front wheel had to be repaired (nothing serious, slight curb damage probably 3 inches in length - no dents) and they did a great job removing the curb damage but the paint wasnt matched exactly. it cost the insurance $150 to repair and paint. i was pissed because you can clearly tell the new silver didnt match the stock silver/gunmetalish. i went back and the bodyshop said they can't get it exact so i had the insurance buy me a new one from nissan (think it was $700-ish, the rear i imagine is more expensive).

it was funny, first they offered to paint the rear wheel silver so you cant tell. then i said it's retarded to have 2 wheels one color and 2 wheels another. their response was "well you're never going to see both sides of the car at the same time". allstate - good hands?...

I'm right with you man, I've been looking for the same thing for months. When I wasn't looking for one, I saw a ton on here, now that I need one there are none. I'm sure some will surface eventually.

Check the for sale thread here. I seen a lot of wheels for sale there, also in eBay. GL

i have one that has some damage to it. I ran over a brick on the highway. i am willing to sell it if you guys want it. you might be able to fix it, im not sure. the damage is done on the inner side of the wheel. here are some pics.

Z-WHIZ · 01-22-2010, 10:32 AM

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. I thought about having it repaired, but the damage is just too severe, IMO. The tire actually got damaged a little bit too, so I'd love to find both if possible.

I appreciate the offer dthem370, but I'm looking for a wheel (and hopefully tire) in pretty much new condition.
