HI I am looking for 2 or if possible 3 standard JImny wheels with or without tyres in Sydney.
I am having a trailer built and want the same wheels through out that way I get 2 spares the same.
Or if any one can suggest where I can get some second hand or even new.

Any help gratefully received.
Cheers
Matt

Phone around the wreckers.
The ugly 3 spoke rims are everywhere. Don't pay any more then $80 for a rim and tyre.

If you don't want the ugly 3 spoke rims you'll have to look a bit harder and most likely pay a bit more.
If you have your hart set on the new style 5 spoke rims....... Good luck..... ;)


Edit;
Just realized you didn't specifically say you wanted alloys. Just assumed that's what everyone wants.
If you're only after steel rims you can pick them up really cheap. Any model Suzuki rim will fit and a lot of the standard steel rims look very similar.

Thanks Pete,

I got a friendly tyre fitter to get someone to go through the wreckers network and they couldn't fine any of any description in Sydney. I also gave Suzuki wreckers a call but they didn't have any. There appears to be a place on the gold coast that has some but will need to get them shipped.
Actually am pretty happy to just have the steel one sI still have them on the vehicle.

When you say any model suzuki rim will fit can you elaborate I know what they are 15x5.5J with a bolt pattern of 5x139.7 but don't I need to be worried about offset and does that vary among the various Suzuki cars? Looks are not my main issue at the moment it is more atime thing.

Thanks for your help
Matt

Are you chasing steel or alloy?

I'm surprised you can't find anything in Sydney.
I got my ugly 3 spoke rims for my trailer from the Suzuki wreckers there.
They had about 7 or 8 of the 3 spoke rims on the rack out the back and I saw at least another 2 Jimnys in the yard with alloys on them.

I'm going to say this from my personal dealings with the Suzuki wrecker, calling them is a waste of time. I called and asked about Jimny alloys, the guy says "mate, they're super rare and as soon as they come in they get sold". I asked how much for 2, he quoted me $150 each, rims only!

Some time later I was in the area and thought I'd call in to see if they happened to have any. The young guy takes me out the back and there's a rack full of alloy Jimny rims.... How much? $80 for rim and tyre.

I have no idea why those guys stuff you around on the phone, but I'd pretty much guarantee there is a pile of Jimny rims in stock out there.
