Hi,
One of my sport rims is damaged and I can't afford to buy a new set. Does anyone know where I can get a new or a second hand steel rim, much like the spare wheel?
I can't find anywhere online that will sell a standard steel rim, all just alloys. Also, I can't find any second hand places. There must be loads of places that put new rims on cars, what happens to the old steel rims?
Thanks
Pete

Has 15 inch alloys, but was going to match the 14 inch spare on the back and have 14 inch on the back until I can afford to upgrade. I'm KL/PJ area.

Take it example, my own interpretation: Let's say a shop takes a set of 4 rims with the price of RM 200. Each piece cost round RM50. If they sell to you 1 piece, they get RM100. If you want a set, they sell at RM 350, they still earn RM 150. If manage to sell 2 pieces, they get back their cost already. Sure they will sell one.
