[steve58]

My spare tire rim is rusted out and wont hold air after it was drowned in the trunk for who knows how long.
I have searched for one of these also but cant find one,anybody got any laying around?

I had trouble finding a set if the original bundt wheels, then I finally went to a local shop that fixes MBs and also sells wheels. They had a set of the original bundts (with the original factory anti-leak strip).

Welcome back Scott, I hope the top recover went smooth.
We all,, I mean I, could use a new one soon, although, mine is still functional.

I have a spare too bad you're halfway aroung the country. I don't like my spare it looks like it has the original tyre on it a phoenix, which makes me unsure of its usability. I thought it would have had an alloy but I guess that thing is the spare.

Good luck and don't forget to get a set of short lugs for your spare or it won't do you much good.

You know they'll sell you a new tire for that one, too, right? They don't only sell tires that get immediately mounted on the car.

If you ask nicely, they'll even sell you tires you can put in your back seat. They're not picky about things like that.

Are you talking about a "donut" type spare or one like in the photo?

He thinks you've got alloy wheels with a steel spare, which is apparently his situation. Your pics say otherwise. But that's a detail. Daryn don't do details.

Just cause daryn won't try to spell, or punctuate, or construct a sentence properly. It doesn't mean everyone should follow his lead. Er eh?
