Hi, I'm new to the board and a new mx3 owner, 94 V6 mx3. Love how it handles

I was wondering if anyone here has a stock 5 spoke precidia rim for sale.

I need one replaced ASAP and thought I'd see if anyone in the Vancouver area might have one for sale.

Thanks!

bump,

I'm having a hard time looking for a replacement, I got quoted by Mazda for like $800 for a new one. Both me and the guy were wondering why it was priced like that in the computer LOL

if anyone knows where i can get one, any info would be great, even if it wasn't in the vancouver area, thx

tHERE are a couple of Wreckers on Mitchel Island that have it in stock, but they are asking about $100 bucks a pop. Did you curb the rim? MIght be cheaper to get it fixed, but runs about the same price.

Its always better to replace than fix, once they break they're never the same as new/unbroken...

especially @ $100/ea

Thanks for replying monstar-mx-3, it was actually cracked, not done by me, so I definately need a replacement. I've been to 2 on mitchel and 2 in surrey too, all claiming they had them, only to either say they didn't or have the non 5 spoke version. Would you by any chance remember which ones wreckers carried them? The last one I went to was Atlas...but I remember I had a checklist of like 7 places I tried, 2 of which were on mitchel I believe. If you don't remember I'll just try calling as many on mitchel as possible.

Thx for any info you can provide =)

Dont remeber the place, but soon as you come off the OAK, head west down the island. I think its the last or send last place on your left hand side, just before the road turns to the left. He was asking $100 bucks a pop for the rim. I tryied the placed in Surrey along scott and they didnt have it. But I did see it in stock at the place at Mitch. island. I suggust you take a picture with you, becuase most of the wrecker are thinking the honey comb rims.

he is looking for the 5-spoke 95/96 GS wheels. They are hard to come by. 92-94 "honeycomb" rims are easy.

There is a company in the US though that makes replica wheels of the 5 spoke... let me see if I can find it. not right now. just do some searching.

Thanks for all the input guys, I'll have to take a trip down using the route you suggested on Oak to find the place, hopefully i can get one. Yes, they're very rare...hopefully i can get that straightened out along with other things on the car to stop worrying about it and to start enjoying it

Once I get my 17's I'll sell you mine. They have one years worth of wear but hardly any wear ( 85% ).
