Where are some junk yards around Bham, AL?

PearcePonyCar · 01-31-2008

I upgraded the brakes on my car recently, and like the careless rookie I am I didn't put the right rear wheel on right. After driving it for about 2 wks., I noticed metal shavings in the inside of the wheel. Turns out I bent all the tire studs, snapped one off, bent my rim, and bored out the holes in it. There is no question that I need a new rim, but I don't really want to pay $300 for a new one from the dealer. So does anyone know of any junkyards in or around Birmingham, AL (I'm willing to drive up to an hour) where I can get a stock 16 in. rim for an '02 for a good price? (preferably less than $150)

First of all, how did you put it on wrong??

Second, live on ebay, craigslist, and any mustang forum that has a classified..sometimes if you post that you want to buy it somebody will have an extra one...

Third, go here Junk Yards accross the USA for Alabama

good luck!

don't really know...when I put the lugs in it should have centered the wheel...I think I stripped one of the studs by overtorquing the lug on it, and that allowed the wheel to wobble, messing the whole thing up. Thanks for the help though!
