need parts help

Looking for a used 19 inch rim, cheap as possible to be used as a spare only. Local junkyards are a no go so far. Have big trip in two weeks and need the rim. Also does anyone know the best price for a cabin air filter? So far rockauto has them for 44.50 and shipping. thanks for any help

O'Reilly Auto Parts has cabin air filters by MGD - MicroGard - #3753 $9.99 ! You may have to order it, not always kept in stock.
best price I've seen anywhere.

[AVIDMOTION]

Thats more about what they are worth! If they have them for that I am gonna stock up. I dont think there is one of those near me anywhere....

[AVIDMOTION]

I went to their online site, yes they are 9.99 no there are no stores, closest Va., I am in NJ, unavailable online....I wonder why?

[Bob N]

I went to O'Reilly's today and they ordered one for me, said it would be in by Tuesday, and it was $9.99. The counter guy couldn't believe it when he looked it up, and the WIX filter was $62.99!!! WTF, it's only a cabin filter

[AVIDMOTION]

Unfortunatrly none around me and they wont mailorder it.....hmmmm

[AVIDMOTION]

Yea, now I can order it online, get this,no longer $9.99, it is $17.99 and $11.99shipping! So like 30 bucks now to ship it to me!

MG filters are not as good as the factory or WIX replacements.

as far as a spare just go to wallmart and get a plug kit its a lot faster than changing a spare and as long as you run good air pressure and don't go off the road any damage will be in tread and can be plugged. i take a min of 2 long trips every 28 days so this is what i have found to be best

Remember this, when plugging a tire it reduces the tires speed rating. If you have a Z rated tire and plug it it is now a H rated tire. A plug is great in a pinch, but a proper patch is the only way to maintain a speed rating.
