Good source for good price on a spare?
After venting and recovering from a possibly defective "mobility kit" experience, it has struck me that I might benefit from having an additional wheel/tire for storage in my garage as a spare.
I had enough time to get back to a family garage, but the car sits until I can make it in to my BMW dealer for an eval/possible replacement (wife insisted on purchasing tire/wheel insurance-might be a great decision seeing that I've only made it 2.5 months before what seems a total loss of a tire). The tire now seems to completely deflate overnight. I can't see a nail/screw, because I don't want to drive it until the appointment, but there must be something major. It would have been quite a bit easier had I been in possession of a spare/additional tire to transport this one in. Are there any good prices on rims/wheels that anyone is aware of? I could probably use a new comp pack wheel anyway as I was forced into a pothole and damaged my front passenger rim. Nearly $600 for the wheel alone seems high enough to keep my wife from thinking it's a good idea "just in case". |

Turner or GetBMWParts.com have good prices on OEM ZCP wheels.
Another alternative is a compact spare. There's lots of info on compact spares here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...act+spare+tire. It's a big thread. Go to the most recent postings for the latest info. GregW_/_Oregon posted a link to the compact spare thread to your previous sealant disaster thread.

Gonna be hard to beat Tischer. Just be happy that you are able to use your old wheel as a spare and the car will be rolling with a perfect set of wheels/tires! It could be worse
