Wreckers in ACT / 5 spoke wheel

Are there any Subaru wreckers around Canberra / ACT ?

I need to replace one of my 13" "Sport" wheels - the ones with the thick spokes - it cracked across the bolt hole, and was re-welded but I doubt that will pass CAMS

I'll check my stockpile and get back to you, I know I've got plenty in the same state, an odd good one I'm not so sure about.

There's a really good Subi Wrecker in Mitchell - I've had heaps of L Series bits from him with no worries - Touring Wagon Tailgate, Steering Rack, Bullbar, Power Mirror, etc - Ask for Matt cos he looks after that side of things.
They also have a showroom full of new off-road goodies.
The wrecker business is a sideline I think cos they don't advertise it much. Tell Matt that Justin in Sunny Jindabyne gave you his number! I can't remember the name of the actual business but here's their proper address...

87 Grimwade St
Mitchell
ACT

6242 8245

ask for Matt
Cheers

It's taken me an hour and a half to refind this thread but I do have at least 1 good spare 13" rim.

Not sure which suby you've got but this will be fine on MY or brumby but no good for an L series.

I actually picked one up yesterday

What's the difference btw MY and L series ?

MY wheels don't fit on the front, no clearance for the brake calipers.

ah the width is different too I think, Ls are 5.5 IRC.

Hmm. I picked up a single 13x5.5. The overall design is the same, but the spokes look like they curve a bit differently.

Did they ever make them with a different offset, or is it just a detail design thing and they should still work fine at the back ?
