Landcruiser rim wanted

Barry,

Wife has a Ford Fiesta and I wanted an alloy rim for it. Checked Gumtree and scored one in Townsville a couple of years ago.

Just checked Gumtree now and there's a few available in Qld, though didn't notice any with similar pattern/offset to yours. You being in Victoria, feel your choice might be much greater there?

Buying rims from a wrecker might be a little suss, especially if the donor vehicle had been in a serious accident.

Two suggestions:
1. Check out the listings, Classifieds section, Landcruisers Online { Lcool }
2. Ring around any 4WD / Toyota specialist wreckers in your region (if you can personally do a close inspection of a rim before parting with your $, it should be safe enough.
You might luck in.....someone might have a single....fingers crossed.

We have a 2005 GXL 4.2TD and it has 16 inch rims. I did not know that the Sarah has 17. Isn't the Sahara an "optioned up" model of the GXL version?

Are you sure they are 17" and not 16" like ours?

G'day Barry, have just been through the same, but for a 150 gxl prado, found one in capalabah? In Queensland, rang my brother in law, who is doing the same trip, and also required a second spare, and same vehicle, so he went and brought it.. Thought we could share the spare, but run different profiles.. I ended up contacting a second hand rim dealer in Sydney, cost me $340 freighted to Queanbeyan.. The one in qld was $250, with a new tyre on it as well, but profile to suit brother in laws vehicle anyway.. So he did alright! For me $340 + $380 for a new tyre.. Guy in Sydney who helped me out is Gareth 0421163333.. He did it a lot cheaper, wreckers wanted over $500, and new, toyota wanted $1250.. Good luck with it.. Cheers Odog
