Pick-n Pull doesn't sell the rims..The only ones I ever found in there were welded together to park their wrecks on. Ebay sucks because some moron auto parts sellers like to add "will fit astros" (or have a "fit" window that does) to ALL their ads so you have to wade through pages and pages of things that "DON'T FIT ASTROS"..
My best bet was using googles and images to find a '97 astro safari wheel" (for you..but I was looking for a 1990 one).You get the correwct ebay ads also that way.I ended up getting the wheel and the tire I need to match my others for around $30 each(both separate on ebay through google) but you'll double that with shipping unless you get lucky..I spent about $120 for a full size spare(wheel and tire) for my AWD astro..
At least with Google..you can search for exactly what you want:

97 astro safari wheel - Google Search

Craigslist didn't pan out either..not enough of them around.Perhaps you'll get lucky and someone on here will make you a good deal on one..good luck!(post a picture of what you have/need on your vehicle for a hopeful match)

..and I do have one of the funky,ugly original "temporary use only" spare tires for the 1990..it does hold air..will it fit a 97?..5 lug..You are better off getting a better tire to match what you have.At 30+ years old up under a van..I don't trust them..
..And..I bought this one from this guy on ebay..but it arrived a lot nicer than it looked.I was going to paint it to match my others anyway.I think he regularly has Astro/Safari rims..Yours will probably be different..:

I used car-part.com, I selected the region and then did the did the search, when I was looking for a spare stock aluminum wheel for my 1998. I found them for $50 each about two hours away. I also found a spare front diff at the same yard.
A neighbor had a mid 90's Silverado with the same exact factory aluminum wheels.

I see a bunch of the aluminum 5 on 5 - 15 inch OEM's on E-bay, many for less than $100 including shipping. They are not perfect, but they would certainly work if you do not need a 'perfect' one.
You can also get reconditioned ones that look very nice.

Let me know if you don't find one by Thursday there is a yard close by me, I will be visiting on Friday.

I purchased 5 of these reconditioned OEM rally wheels and very happy with all of them. Best price I’ve seen, some old faded scrapped JY rims are twice the price. At under $45 shipped, you can’t go wrong.
