ok heres the deal. i blew another tire (4th in 2 months, road work), and this time was the worst. Not only did i blow my tire i bent my rim to all hell. now ive been using my spare (which over the last 2-3 months has had about 500 miles + of usage). kicker is im broke as hell right now since im switching jobs and cant afford another 220 for another rim (5zigen FN-01R) and 55 for the tire. so im looking to see if anyone has or knows where i can get a full size spare or a steel 17" rim i can throw the new tire on until i can afford to replace the 5zigen. any help would be appreciated, ive tried all the tire shops around and most of the junk yards with no luck. my friend works for a shop where i can get some cheap 17" a/m rim for 85 bucks and the tire for 55. so if it comes down to it ill be doing that. tia

oh and my friend has a set of rims laying around from a 98 lexus gs300 and said i can borrow one if it will fit, anyone know what the bolt pattern is on one of those.

he also has a full spare for his 04 sti but wouldnt you know it, the 05 has the same pattern as the R and not the 04, doh'!

 

ok how about none local R owners with any ideas

 

First of all, I am the only person that has anything to do with Chaos in this state, please update your location.

Second, I'll check with my brother and see if he has anything although I doubt it. Get rid of them clunker rims and you won't have a problem.

I'll see what I can find bro.

 

hahaha ok then i can be honorary sneakyness (i think i actually had that as my location before this your current level of sneakyness name)

ok thats cool yea if your bro or anyone you know has anything that i can buy till i can afford a new rim let me know, this spare is on its way to death lol.

yes i know the clunkers have to go, but they looked nice and are light weight for a 17

once i get the rim, o2, and lights fixed its going on every site for sale. last time i tried selling it was only on this site, but im gonna make sure its ready to go for the new owner with no small problems to fix.

oh yea hows the married life treatin ya?
