I wore out the run flats and broke down near Discount Tire which only had non-run-flats in stock.

I am now left without a spare for my trunk. I have a spare tire but NO WHEEL

I have no idea where to get a wheel on short notice on the weekend.
I can't drive to junk yards as I have no spare and cannot get a flat.

I'm picking my husband up on Monday who is getting out of intensive care for 16 days ...who is 120 miles away.

Can anyone help me find a wheel for my 2007 328i BMW in Phoenix metro?

5 bolt --

not sure how to measure the other number?

help appreciated! thanks ~

Personally, I'd risk not having a spare tire for such a short period of time looking to pick up a wheel, especially if I had break-down service on the vehicle. The odds are with you though I understand if you're not comfortable with that.

A bmw dealer should be able to get you the details on what wheel model you need.

Then I'd look on Craiglist and call/visit some salvage/junk yards. Perhaps you can ask if they will deliver for a fee. I would say it's probably going to be tough to get what you're looking for if you can't pick the item up yourself or have someone else you know pick it up for you.

Buying online with overnight shipping is another option but pricey. Renting a car temporarily is another.

Goggle "aara arizona" - it's an Arizona parts locator. Looks like there are about 15 possible wheels for that car though.. fwiw, most salvage yards will ship, and you might need that to get your exact wheel. The biggest yards are in Tucson & Vegas, but they can get you just about anything in just a couple days.

If its just a spare, all you would really need is the tire size which is printed right on your old tire - i.e. p245/60 r *16* < ----- = 16 inch, might be 17 or 18 though..

thank you ... I found them online. I called and their mail box is full. I assume they aren't open on Saturday.

I'm going to have to find someone else to bring my hubby down from Flagstaff or hire medical transport ... which I could buy an entire set of run flats for that price.

I'll keep calling back to see whether someone answers. Thanks again !!!
