View Full Version : WTB: Let's join up to split a 135 wheel purchase for spares

Hello. A few of us are looking for a Style 135 wheel for a spare, instead of the donut tire. I would like one but don't want to pay a lot of money for a spare. How about the next time someone is selling their 135s cheaply, 4 of us go in on the buy and split the sale up? I don't need it in great condition for a spare. I understand someone might want a few dollars off to take the worst wheel, but those things can be worked out. Anyone interested? I'm not in a hurry, and I don't know of an immediate impending sale (saw some sold recently), but I'll look if I get four definites. To avoid shipping costs, Southern California would be preferable, but certainly I'm open where ever the tires are. John

I'll be keeping my donut (next buyer may want original equipment).

I'm a realist. I may sell the car one day.

I'd be surprised if one of you guys didn't buy it.

Well, since I'm looking to sell some beat-up rims, this might work out well. What's the widest tire that will fit in the wheel well? I know my 255's don't.

All depends on the rim and the offset.

I think Eli is rollin 265's in the rear......

I ran 265 with my beyerns.... and my tired sit more flush than lances do with 135, can't see why u 135 guys couldn't run 265....

Oops. Yup. my last post was meaningless. If i was going to put a spare in the well, I would put a 225. it should work both front and back... thanks marcus, for calling me out on my lack of previous post reviews!

Nah. Not at all. Just wanted to clarify what I think he was talking about.

No worries, D.

Sorry. Marcus is right. I was talking about the spare tire well. I always thought it was strange we had a space-saver spare, when the space you save is wasted. All it saves is weight.

Keith, it would be tough, but I'd still (try) to respect you if you abandoned us for Imola. :-)

Lol- my three fav colors are Sparkling Graphite, Jet Black, and Orient Blue.

The only way I would settle (sorry boys, I know settle doesn't sound nice) for Imola would be to get in a car like the Boss's that I know has been meticulously cared for.

Haha that is kinda funny. There is a spacer in the well for the space-saver spare. :confused

That's not too far from me. I'm also looking to replace one bad rim (still driving on it but it has a flat spot). I'll see if I can buy the set and split them up for whoever wants it.

Thanks for checking. I'm hoping we find a set in SoCal.
