Greetings, all. I have a 1997 ES300, with a fairly fast leak in the left front tire. The dealership found that the inside of the rim is rusty; combine that with the weight of the vehicle and air leaks out. The dealership said I might be able to get it fixed; failing that, I need a new rim.
A few questions: what's the probability I can just get my current rim fixed? Do I need to replace *all* rims, or can I just do the one? I've found inexpensive-looking rims at wheels-and-rims.com; if I get rims shipped to me, where might I find instructions on how to remove my current tire and put it on the new rim? How easy is it to do this? What other steps would I need to perform? Can I just take them to Tire Kingdom (for example) and ask them to do it?
Thanks for your help!
