 Buying rims from u-pull-and-payI find myself in quick need of a new rim for my spare tire. I'm about to drive the bronco 1,000 miles, and I don't trust the rim on the spare.
I don't really want to pay 100 to 200 for a new rim from u-name-it tire store. I'm sure I could find one given time on here or craigs list, but I only have a couple days. So u-pull-and-pay comes to mind for quick and cheap parts. Has anyone bought rims from them? Do they pull and stock the good ones or are they all out on cars and I have to find one for myself and hope I've got the right backspacing? |

Re: Buying rims from u-pull-and-pay Seems to me that they pull the good ones, but you might struggle with them allowing you to only buy 1. I hope you find something!

Re: Buying rims from u-pull-and-pay For one offs, I've had good luck with Craigslist. Can usually grab a rim for $20 if you just want a plain Jane steelie.

Re: Buying rims from u-pull-and-pay UPull will sell you one wheel. They do not pull and stock the good ones; you hunt the yard and grab what you like. Were I still in the Springs I'd throw you a couple of wheels for your trip. Maybe someone in the Springs has something you can borrow? Or buy? There's also a used wheel/tire place down near Fort Carson. Might be able to score something cheap there.
