A new spare tire for my R, my idiot roommate left it in the spare closet of our last apartment when he cleaned it out!!!!!!

 

Junk yard......just find one that fits and has tread!

 

also the price, maybe an Acura dealership won't charge THAT much. anybody wanna sell me one

 

I have one for sale. $1000 or your Toda setup.

 

Just FYI everyone i called Acura today (trying to help Keith out) and talked to one of the parts guys there. He said specifically that they cant get the wholes spare tire combo (wheel + tire). They can only get the wheel. I was quoted $97 for it and i get discounts through Acura since my dad is a dealer himself. So you would have to buy the tire through Pep Boys or another similiar place. The tire he said would cost ya around $60 + installation and balancing cost. Kinda expensive for a spare tire/wheel brand new!

 

Damn! A factory spare wheel + tire = ~$160!! That's a straight up competitor with Rota wheels!

 

I might have one from my previous car. Does $50+ you pay shipping sound good? Let me take a look and email me at tsaktuo@shaw.ca if you're interested.

 

I have one, $45 plus shipping.

Ha!

Hurry though, it is in Chicago anbd go back to arizona on Monday, so if you want it let me know ASAP.

 

good luck trying to buy one from the dealer,they dont sell a complete tire and rim set up.also most of all tire dealers have a hard tim getting the right size.

 

I wonder how many people with 5-lug conversions forget about the spare.

 

Man, for that price just buy another ITR wheel for a full sized spare.

Full sized spare
Stupid OEM spare that has a speed limit of 55 mph

I wonder if a full sized spare would fit in the spare tire wheel well.

 

No. Much to my chagrin it won't.

Even though I love saving weight, I think space-saver spares should be illegal.

 

lol

 

Dont think it wil fit!, spares are a bit crap, but great in the snow hahahaha. I say junk the whole thing and get a can and decent roadside assitance, then spend the change on a

 

Good question....
