My dad needs a single wheel like the one pictured below:

I have seen these wheels on some older Impreza outback-sports and on some legacy's (not sure model). They are 14". They tend to not look that great so I'm not too concerned about looks. As long as they are straight and no chunks missing from the lip....it will be fine.

My dad needs 1 wheel so he can mount his extra snowtire on it and rotate it into his set of snowtires.

He/I are willing to travel some for it or pay shipping if the cost is not much.

bad idea rotating a fifth tire into a fully matched set of four. Is it newer than the others?

Thank you for the advise on mis-matching the tires.

We know it's not a good idea to mis-match tires. That being said, my dad is trying to rotate all 5 tires around as evenly as possible. What he does not want is 4 1/2 worn tires and 1 brand new tire. Depending on the wear differences you can not use said brand-new tire due to the slight difference in tire size and AWD.

I just got offered 4 of these wheels for a great price. Once I have the tires in hand I will post an update to this thread.
