I need a wheel

Okay, so I have been to almost every salvage yard here in Fayetteville, NC and still can't find a wheel. I know lots of you are running huge tires on flashy wheels, and I hate you for having the money, time, and motivation to do all that I want to do. But, despite my hate, I am forced to seek your assistance.

Looking for a 15x7.5 wheel for my 93 XLT Bronco. The kind I am looking for is the aluminum one, with all of the little holes running around it, and the red center cap. Need to replace the one on the truck now that won't balance and is in danger of ruining my new MTRs.

So, anyone out there, close to Fayetteville have one laying around?

15x7.5s are no help. Thanks though.

I'll have a complete set of them in a month or so but I kinda need them under my 93 until I finish the lift project and can fit the new tires and rims.

I have 4 from a '93 w/ red centercaps and 4 from a '95 with black centercaps.
If you weren't so far from here, I'd entertain the idea of selling you a set of 4.

Check a tire dealer. They often take in old wheel tire combos and they save the decent ones for resale.

Was looking to get them sooner. Am driving from NC to CO in about 2 weeks and didn't want to put that kind of mileage on the tire those won't balance.

You can check junkyards.
73-96 Ford 1/2 ton trucks and broncos all have the same bolt pattern,
Jeep CJs have the same bolt pattern, and
older dodge trucks have the same bolt patterns.
You might not find the right wheel at first, but at least you could save your tire, until you get the right wheel for it.

Try ebay. I had the same problem several years ago and ended up buying my Eagle Alloy 589 aluminum wheels for 400 bucks because the dealer wanted 350 for a replacement stock wheel. The salvage yards should be able to help you, but when they have a complete set of 4 they usually want to sell the whole set. Found this one on Ebay. Just enter the item number in the search if the link doesn't work. The auctin has 4 days left.

Item number: 8049315536
