I see i see, but as @GOYABEAN mentioned, wicked pricey. I ain't looking for no whippersnapping rim lol, just a reasonable spare

As on all gun forum threads...

If you save a few more dollars you could get custom 1911 spare!

I would wait, that's what I would do!

I did. Of course I checked all the usual places. I have 4 rims, and 5 new tires..I'm not looking for hundreds of dollars or fancy shmancy..just looking for a rim for a spare..last 2 I bought at my local salvage yard for 35..but he has no more left. That's why I figured let me just check my forum marshmallow peeps.

(Plus I knew @GOYABEAN would go overboard and do some legwork) thanks Goya

I've really never ever had one happen like this before

Ever drive on it when it was flat? Usually what causes them to blow in that location.

You never know even with New tires sometimes manufacturers make garbage products lucky you were able to control it and all went well other than aggravation

Noooo never. Everything was always well taken care for and maintained proper. This was so out of the blue and drastic

BOOM while in the fast lane during the snow of last week. Immediately it drifted me to the left(so lucky I'm always in the fast lane ) then I couldn't put the donut on while on that side of the highway cause I'd be killed. So I waited for my moment and zipped it across the 3 lanes to get to the slow lane shoulder so I was safe. Changed it all real snappy and went home and bought a new tire. Tire never came the day they said it was going to be delivered, I called and said WTF I would have drove to location if I knew I would have waited to Monday instead of the promised delivery date of that prior Friday. They said we'll just ship out another overnight no charge and if the first one arrives just refuse the delivery and it will come back to us..mmmhmmmm oooookkkkkkayyy...soooooo I have a new tire on and a new one delivered (heheheheheh) and thus, I need only a rim.

@4excal Where exactly do you live? There's a junkyard in Ontario called Wilberts that would probably have this. I know they had a few Subies there the last time I went looking for parts for my Outback
