Original rims. Where to buy?

Live in norway. Wrecked my rear rim. Full of scratches.
My local dealer asked 700pounds for a new one.

The 2017 S edition is a CAR sold in norway.

Where to buy?

Have you checked with your local auto recycle yard? Here in Canada, parts from wrecks usually sell for less than half of dealer price. I'm sure there must be at least a few late model Outlanders that have been crashed and are now in the hands of parts recyclers.
 
I have checked. No cars on salvage now. But there must be a place where they you can order original parts durect with a normal price.

700 for one rim is alot! Dont know if this rim is sild outside norway. Anyone know what company makes the rims for Mitsubishi?
 
The OEM alloy rims for my 2014 GX4h are made by Enkei of Japan, there's an Enkei logo stamped onto the inner rim spoke - have a look at the inner rim on yours to see if it says Enkei anywhere. Doubt if Enkei will supply any cheaper (if at all) than Mitsubishi but maybe worth a try.

Same situation here in the UK - main dealer will want around £600 for a new rim. ebay is you best bet here but secondhand rims often seem to be slightly damaged. Breakers will want around £300 for a new style rim so still half the price (as long as it's not damaged). I bought a set of four of older style rims for £530 (which is cheap) and had them powder coated for £60 each. They fortunately weren't bent or damaged - which I guess is always a risk secondhand. They look like new (see 'alloy refurb' post in 'modifications and accessories'). Also see 'muddywheels' (also on 'alloy refurb' post) set that he had refurbed, which are the same style as yours. He also had his powder coated.

If you wanted a S/H rim refurbed to factory spec - exact colour match (if you're lucky) and then diamond polished spokes (assuming that yours are diamond cut - I think they are) - which have to be 'cut and polished' after powder coating, and then clear lacqured, that would probably cost as much as a new rim from Mitsubishi. According to the specialist who powder coated my 'winter' rims the quality and finish of OEM Enkei rims is above average.

That is cheap - I was quoted £400 per wheel for these by my dealer almost 4 years ago. What I was offered was a set for £600 for those changed at port in the UK for the more fancy wheels when they were doing the UK GX5h limited edition. Unfortunately, the dealer never managed to get hold of them. :cry:
 
Attraco AB in Växjö Sweden has loads of used wheels and rims. I got a complete set of 18" black Y-spoke with fresh summer tires for my 2014 PHEV. A set of 4 for 8KSEK, 2K each. Condition as new.
I found these via bildelsbasen.se, example: https://www.bildelsbasen.se/se-sv/Mitsubishi/MITSUBISHI-OUTLANDER/2013_2019/F%C3%A4lgar-&-D%C3%A4ck-&-Tillbeh%C3%B6r/F%C3%A4lg-Aluminium-1st/Alla/

Interesting - when translated into English there are only 3 "sets" of 4 wheels available - so the above link is to singles only.
 
Bought a set of wheels from a wrecker in Detroit for $400USD. I had to go pick them up (4-wheels). It wss from a 2017 Outlander. Not PHEV but they are direct fit.

It's not EU but i hope this helps.
 
I've used this useful site before, as it also lists cars with the same PCD and bore. Very helpful when looking for spare rims

Check blocket.se , I got a nice set of used 18" Mitsubishi wheels in great condition including winter tires for 10 000 SEK.
 
The cynic in me thinks the Mitsu wheels are priced to make it just about economic sense to replace a wheel at their price rather than buy an entire set of much cheaper after-market wheels. That said when I looked for an aftermarket 18" set to mount winter tyres on I wasn't confident of the strength of cheap alloys. I was lucky to find a near perfect OEM set from a trashed vehicle for < £1K delivered (with okay tyres and TPMS of course). If I don't damage them I might expect to get much of that money back one day. Of course if you go the after-market route you may well be able to sell your 3 good wheels.
