Need spare Doughnut Wheel

Summicron · 03-26-2009, 12:09 PM

I replaced my runflats with conventional wheels and need a spare.
Where is a place I can pick up a cheap doughnut for my 2006 E90 330i?

PS: I'm located in Southern California.

Thanks!

Are people actually carrying a spare after the switch away from runflats? I really want to move away from them, and on my winter tires I go without, but where are you going to stash the spare time?

I wouldn't be without a spare myself Summer or Winter.

Where did you get the bag and net?

It's actually an inexpensive nylon spare wheel cover (25" diameter) that I got on eBay. The cargo net is a BMW item.

This is what I did on my 335 for less than $200: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86651

I think you could do something about the same on your car. Tire Rack is always willing to let you know if the a certain wheel and tire setup will meet the requirements for a spare if the wheel/tire combo is not the same size, but the circumfernce matches.

I have a conti pump/repair kit for when I am in town, and I throw the spare in the trunk for long drives.
