I cannot find 14" steel wheel for 2008 Yaris

[RMcG]

For some reason I cannot find a 14" steel wheel for a 2008 Yaris. The original OEM wheel was bent badly after I hit a concrete divider/curb. Les Scwab (a very good tire place in the Pacific NW) has a generic steel wheel, but it does not work with the Toyota sensors.

The best I can do so far is a local Toyota dealer could have one here by tomorrow, cost is $130. We (myself and Les Schwab) have called all around to junkyards and have not been able to locate one. Tire Rack sells a steel wheel for about $45 plus $16 shipping, it would take 7 days to get here. Les Schwab told me the Tirerack wheels are usually the same as the generic steel wheel that Les Schwab already has. So this would not work with the Toyota sensors.

Les Schwab bent the steel wheel back in place so it holds air, but they say it will not balance. And they say it will vibrate a lot. They say this will be less of a problem if the wheel is on the rear. But that is not a longterm solution; among other things the tires have to be rotated, so the tire will eventually be on the front I think.

ANY COMMENTS OR IDEAS WOULD BE WELCOMED.

Thanks,

R.

Does anybody know if the Tirerack 14 inch black steel wheel (info below, image attached) will work with the factory toyota sensors? A tirerack representative told me it would work with the Toyota sensors.

Tire Rack is good about compatibility. If they say it will work with OEM TPMS sensors, then it definitely should.

Hi Scott,

One guy over internet chat at TireRack said the wheel would work, but another guy over the phone at TireRack said it probably would not work. So there was a question mark there.

In any case, I found a wheel through HollanderParts.com
https://www.hollanderparts.com/Home

You can search under your vehicle make, model, year and trim or under VIN number and get a wide selection of salvage yards that have the part you are looking for. I found a wheel for $55 + $4 tax, a savings ($70) over the $130 Toyota dealers charge.

Hollander was apparently the person who invented and promoted the interchange number convept. See http://wikido.isoftdata.com/index.ph...er_Interchange

Thanks,

R.
