Hi Barry
It may have been Ashley, he can be hard to contact. Space savers often come up on Ebay. I really like spacer savers, they give you much more boot
space. I have a pumped up type space saver in my daily car, its from a Mazda, I had a new centre put in it with 4 x 130, 5 x 130 & 5 x 100
patterns, so its very useful.
Steve

Hi Barry
Neals Wheels did the centre for me, I had the steel plate already made up for it. In my yellow car I had Porsche pump up type space saver because I
really needed the room.
Ashley is always at swaps and used to have a black dog with a limp.
Steve
This is the one from my yellow car

Barry when you find the guy or someone who does them, do a deal on 2 as I will eventually need one as well for the fasty.
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

Hi
Then that's Ashley for sure. As I said he can be hard to contact.
Mattara, I had no clearance issues with the Brembos on my yellow car, the Porsche space saver rims I have are both 16 inch.
There is few ways to go about this.
1. Find a 15 x 4 inch stock bug wheel and have a new centre welded in with the appropriate bolt pattern and get a nice skinny tyre to fit it.
2. Buy a deflated type space saver from a Porsche, these usually go for between 100 - 200 on Ebay. You then need to carry a tyre pump. They give you
lots more boot space, but if you have a flat what are your going to do with the flat? I've heard of Porsche drivers calling cabs to get their flat
tyre home.
3. Use a space saver from another car and have a new centre welded in, you can either get deflated type or permanently inflated type.
Buy the time you stuff around with 1 & 3, 2 is looking fairly cost effective.
Steve

Hi Guys,
Where were you all when I had 5 to sell?
The best place to go is a Porsche Spares specialist, that is where I got mine.
There is a place at North Paramatta called Exoticar, ask them for a Porsche Spare or Space Saver spare, all the ones I have ever owned were 15 by 6
and I just put a 135 on it and it fitted any spare wheel well.
Expect to pay at least $150 for one.
Cheers,
David
0418 117 622
PS I do not know exoticar or am anyway involved with them. Just trying to help out!

well - finally caught up with Ashley
$150 gets you a good as new 15" x 5 1/2" steel wheel with one of those funny collapsed tyres
The one i got has never been used.
you need an electric pump to use it. 
These are fine for my Super - dont know about a Standard beetle though
He has about 6 more of these
