18" steel wheel source
I wanted to get an extra 18" steelie as they seem to be becoming rarer in the US. Dealer wanted almost $500 and most online parts places are charging $420-450 plus a fortune for shipping. People on various forums appear to think that these wheels are collectors items and charge accordingly.
I considered picking one or two up in the UK on my next trip there, but didn't really want to deal with shipping or carrying them back. Then a google search found Chicago Wheel Service and I was able to pick one up for $279 including ground shipping. As far as I can tell it's brand new (it may be that is just refinished very well) and I'm really happy with the whole experience. If anyone else is looking for 1 or 2 spare steelies or a replacement alloy, I'd recommend these guys based on my experience.

There's always loads on e-bay for about $1500 shipped. Price seems stable as demand is very low.
Perhaps demand will increase as supply dwindles now that LR have stupidly stopped offering them on the P300.
White Steelies. Set of 5 in TX
