Quick question: My son had a severe accident, someone flew over the median into his car and totalled it. He is ok but needs some surgery.
He needs to get his tires and rims off and put junk ones on. Where does one find junk tires and rims? Quickly size 5x114.3 lug
Is that something junk yards would have?
Yes.
Oh my you have been through a lot. Is this the same son you asked for prayers for last week?
Yes. Just isn’t his year.
here in L.A, we have tons. The biggest one is called LKQ the size of 10 football fields..a junkyard that is organized.
YOU take out the parts pretty much from the cars. and tires are $5 and rims $10. sweet deal. If you are not at least mechanically inclined, bring someone else bec. no one will help you there except take your money..
Go to the shady part of town. I just bought a pair of used tires for $65/each and put a set of 4 traction tires for $125/each from a discount tire place on the wrong side of tracks. That price was mounted and balance. The owner was a real nice guy.

Thank you 1000%
WAY too much absurd crap.
He has 48 hours
Oy! I can’t help with the tires but I can pray.
these are rims that will replace the ones on his totaled car, doesnt matter if the tires are flat
Where are you located? My town has used tire stores all over the place. I’m guessing they buy the tires the legit tire stores take off when they sell new ones — at least, the ones that are still serviceable. Plus the ones that smaller shops who do things like truck lifts and new rims take off.
I did the same thing with a totaled Corolla. Got 4 spacesaver spares from a wrecking yard for $50. Worked great!
Someone mentioned the space-saver spare wheel/tires - definitely worth asking about those. I’m guessing it just needs to roll onto a tilt-bed truck to be hauled off to a salvage yard, right? Should just need three...
Lol!!!!
U-pull-it auto wrecking yard.
Every town, no matter big or small has a junkyard that you can get relatively cheap tires and rims. If you are a woman I’d take along a man you trust with your life and wallet. These areas are usually the diceier type neighborhoods not above taking a woman’s money. So beware but don’t be afraid to dicker with them either. Good luck and my prayers for your son’s recovery.
we have two spacesaver subie tires need two more
Junk tires? We've got whole junk cars. Stop in today.
certain states in the rural areas have tires and rims for sale.
Search on “used tires” that might get you in the right direction.
