Can't find the name or address right now, but there is a salvage yard out in Eastlake that specializes in Toyotas. We bought an extra rim there for
our 2003 Tundra--a good one. We had the tire.
Now, if I can talk John into buying the new vehicle I want, and he sort of wants, we will end up with the perfect thing for you----our just slightly
bent rim and tire from Gonzaga bay---great for a second spare.

I bought a used alloy to use as a second emergency spare off eBay a few years ago. Cheapest one I see right now on there (I think I found one for
less than this when I was looking) will set you back $59 incl shipping:

Woody,
I believe this is the salvage yard we have been to a couple of times and where we got our rim. You might try it.

Well, I fell in love with the new Rav---but it is highly unlikely I will be riding in one soon unless it is owned by someone else. Tundra is far more
practical for what we need and it is paid for.

Also try offroad shops. Lots of guys upgrade rims and leave the stockers behind and they can be had cheap. |
I forgot to mention this in my post above...the tire/rim I bought was a discard.

try the auto junk yards in Otay Mesa, great place for spare wheels and all sort of used parts.

After the fact, but Gallant Truck wrecking in Oceanside is a sure bet. I got a spare rim there for about $25.00.
Have fun down there woody.
