Any Junkyard Visitors In Calgary, Alberta, Canada Want To Pick Up Some Wheels For Me?

There's a car at the Pick-N-Pull in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that has the wheels that my station wagon needs. Would anyone here be willing to purchase and them ship them to me in the USA? I'm hoping all four wheels plus the spare are still there. Thanks.

I was perhaps planing on a trip soon as in next week but shipping would be a killer for you. I've been waiting for some specific cars to come in but not many new cars entering because of the inactivity all around.

I don't want anyone to make a special trip, just in case the wheels or the whole car are already gone, but if someone is going to be there anyway, that would be great. Shipping will be expensive, but these wheels are very hard to find and the prices are high.

At all the USA pick-n-pulls the wheels are removed and sent to scrap as part of processing the car to be set in the yard, so they are unlikely to be there unless they have a different policy in Canada.

Depends on the wheels....the yards around here keep a supply of wheels available for sale. I'm sure they scrap the majority, but the nicer ones they keep for re-sale.

I was going to take a run by PNP this morning but was checking out what maybe of interest to myself and noticed the ambulance is now gone. In normal times that yard is real busy and cars have maybe 10 days of sitting before being crushed. Since nothing of interest I will pass on this 40 km trip today. Sorry.

Darn... These wheels are almost impossible to find, and I was hoping to get a set that I could afford. I'll probably end up having to put 14" W108 wheels on my wagon.

I've not noticed it in Washington or Arizona, either. In fact, most of the cars seemed to still have the wheels on them.
