With all the wheel companies making $4000 fancy wheels yet no one cares to make a spare...

.

If you have ever tried to fix one of these tires you would know how much a spare tire is needed.

There is a complete spare tire kit on ebay and a video of it on youtube. Not to bad I guess.

The problem is that few people would be willing to pay what it costs to put together a spare tire combo. I'd ballpark even a cheap wheel would be around $200, then the cost of the tire (?) and mount/balance. Probably cost in the area of $350-400 for one spare combo, done the right way.

Who is interested in this price range?

SSWAGGER, you shouldn't have to wait that long for a replacement tire. Order them from TireRack.com or DiscountTireDirect.com and they usually have the tire sitting on your doorstep within 2-3 days. I never buy my tires at a store, always online.

I beleive everyone is intrested and if not should be ... Everytime I take the car out that goes thru my mind .. I don't want to wait until Iam on the side of a road somewhere trying to make calls then waiting for a flatbed to come and rescue me, like it has to others on here.

Are you talking a wheel with the same diameter so we can also put on the rear? And will it need a spacer or be made to clear the breaks?

Nine ball just to make sure I understand , I just put the SS 20's on my car 245 front 275 rear on my base LS model . If I get a flat on the rear I should take one of my fronts but them on the rear and put my spare on the front , this way I won't damage my rear lSD
. Correct??
