Hawaii Auto Parts

After my mom ruined the rim and tire (Toyota Corolla 2005, tire size P195/64R15), I went looking for a replacement

Going through the Yellow Pages

Lex Brodie 949-4539
ToyotaHawaii.com 564-1150
Abes Auto Recyclers 455.4200 www.abesautorecyclers.com (Pearl City)
Auto Recycling www.autorecyclinghawaii.com 841-7872 (Sand Island)
Revolution Motorsports 772-5698 426 Ward www.rev808.com

None of the websites were very helpful

But then I happened to go to Costco to check their tire availability and asked the guy about the rim. He gave me the reference to Hawaii Auto Parts 845-1134, 1918 Republican Street 730-400 MF which sells used rims.

The rim cost $35. Then I saw they had used tires too so I bought a used tire. Another $35 or so. I guess it was a good deal (definitely cheaper than Toyota), but now when I drive the car I can hear an uneven sound like something's out of whack.

[got the rim and tire on 6/16/09]
