Has anyone ever come across a "Space saver" wheel to fit the IS200 ?
I've taken the bass box and spare wheel out of my car to see what performance gains it achieves.... and lets just say, it is noticeable.
However, I don't want to get stuck with a puncture one day and have to call out the AA.
Who else runs their car without a spare wheel, and what will you do if you get a flat ?? (tyre weld or something similar ?)
Imi, I know your one of the few.......

If you want one that pumps air into it as well then get yourself down to a good m/bike shop and get the puncture kit from Oxford products(i think)as this will give you a plug,some glue,a tool for pushing the plug in and a air cannister to put some air into the tyre,which will give you enough pressure to get you to an air line.
