Is GregW / Oregon 's original post ( http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ght=spare+tire ) still valid or is there an easiar to assemble or kit option available now? On his post it mentioned that I will need 4 items(BMW steel wheel, rubber valve stems, centering, and Maxxis tire). 3 of the items, can be found online in but on the center ring,
Centering ring, 74.1-72.6 mm. I don't think is available anymore at 1010tires. I did find one by Hubrings on Amazon.com and I think I need the black poly carbon ones. Will this work? https://www.amazon.com/pieces-Hubcen...9HE9Z0XBDP9K4E
It looks like the Maxxis spare tire price has gone up to $149 a piece.

Revisiting this since my original post. The last kit I put together was in 8/14 for my F82. Same Maxxis T145/70 tire RH512 linked to; cost me $260 total at the time, so you need to judge whether the $335 price preassembled is worth the convenience (I think it might be).
Your stock tires are 25.7" & 26.3" OD. The 145/70 is 25.0; it works but the 135/80 White 13 mentions is closer at about 25.5" and also skinnier, meaning takes up less trunk room, and less expensive. I think that's the way to go. It's not listed on the Tire Rack site but if you call them they can probably find it.
One little trick on the plastic centering rings is to silicone glue them in place - helps avoid them coming off or getting broken as you mount the wheel.
