Best place to source a spare alloy wheel?

[spooky Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close spooky]

I should be getting my 120 series Prado next week and I have 6 new tyres on order. I am looking for a second spare wheel.

There doesn't seem to be any on offer on the board, do they come up from time time or should I be looking elsewhere ot source them and if so any ideas?

Cheers

Keep an eye here and on ebay. I've seen plenty come through in the last 18 months since I got my Prado.
I bought a second set of alloys (Toyota Phoenix) from an ebay seller in VIC under the name of 03cooldude. Not sure if she still does it.
Otherwise, a genuine Toyota steel wheel is not too expensive. Just make sure you specify the 17"x7.5" version as there is a skinnier version for the GX/Standard grade.

And if you do get a steel rim get the tapered wheel nuts.

Speedy wheels do a copy of the GXL prado rim, called a Grande. once again it has tapered nuts but otherwise identical.

Ah yes, and carry it with you!

This also reminds me... Speedy wheels make an alloy called the Grande and it is a look alike of the 120 alloys. They too now come with tapered nuts. They aren't that expensive either.

Tempe Tyres import the factory wheels far cheaper than Toyota sells them.

I saw one in a shed that we were in last sunday, not sure if it is for sale.
