Anyone have a shop that will call junkyards and locate wheels? I need two wheels for my 3 that are a funky size and bolt pattern specific to the 3. Dealers wants 550 a rim plus 250 a tire so its almost cheaper to get 4 steel wheels since the car sits a lot of time out of the year. I know I may be better ordering online but I need this fixed ASAP so I need to go local. ---

[car-part.com](http://car-part.com) you can search by the actual image of the wheel you need. Its a no brainer. ---

I am looking for a shop to do this. I can call junkyards but a) no way to pull the parts and b) no way to locate tires. Just need a shop who will find them and install them. ---

[www.car-part.com](http://www.car-part.com) national online junkyard search why not just picked a set of 4 aftermarket wheels for that price and give your car an upgrade ---

Definitly some places in Detroit that would have them. The number of wheel reconditioning places here is laughable. ---

swerve for tires and mounting for sure are you looking for 4 steel wheels mainly or 2 replacements? if you want 4 steel wheels post up size, lug pattern and offset, maybe someone has a set kickin around ---

I was able to find 2 wheels using that site and then dunn tire has my tires in stock. Whole operation costs less than one rim the Mazda dealer wanted to charge me. My alternative was finding steel wheels and tires for the rest of the winter since I didn’t want to pay $1,300 to the dealer for two wheels and tires but this worked out. ---
