if i purchase the after market rims, which are 18", that means that i will have to do without a spare?

sell the set of 4 and keep one for spare incase something happens to 1 of your new wheels - or sell all 5 and buy a space saver for a spare!
i think slugoid is lookin for a set of 05 euro rims
Im also keen. please advise whenQuote:

I can put you in touch with them
Where are you located?
i'm located in nsw.
i'm present about to order my new rims.
if i keep 1 of the present rims as a spare, will it be weird if i have 3 18" and 1 17" if one of my tires blow or something?
how much are the 17" worth? i might put them up on ebay, since i'm not sure how much they are worth.
Hehehe 05 Euro Lux Rims im keen how much ?
Sulley:
well, if I am getting your OEM wheels as an Euro owner, I will buy all 5 17" wheels, and trade the space saver wheel to you. with 5 wheels, people can do wheel rotation. Since you are not getting 5 aftermarket 18" rims, so it doesn;t matter what size the spare wheel is... the spare will be different to your 18" anyway, no matter its 17" or space saver (unless you want to buy 5 aftermarket 18", and put one in boot as spare.
BTW, can you pull your 17" spare wheel out of the boot and weigh how heavy the OEM 17" is???
Thanks
It would look weird but it would not make any danger to your driving condition (especially if compared to using space saver!). This of course provided that you have the same overall diameter between your new 18" and the stock 17"Quote:

depending on the cost you want to sell them for, I can organise freight etc so you wont have to leave your house. Just need the post code.
sell them all.. get some money back :)

A. - B. = weight of the 17" OEM wheel. (rim & tyre combo)
i have weighed the rim+tyre. its bout 16kg. its not very accurate as it didnt sit well on the weighing scale. will prob get another scale to weight it if necessary. check out my sig.
