Default Spare tire replacement (temporary spare) for original?
<center><img src="http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i91/AudiAdvocate/3quarterwaxed.jpg"></center><p>Has anyone found a spare (ideally a temporary sized one) to carry instead of the heavy OEM spare?

I want to sell the factory rims from the S4 as I now ride on summer 19's and winter 17's ...

Thanks!

I carry a 19 inch B5 RS4 wheel for a spare. Fits in there perfectly.

Default Thanks - where did you find it - and is it lighter than the OEM?
I am guessing a temporary spare would not clear our brake calipers?

Default You can find them all over the place...
I would try Hartmann or Velocity Motorsport or even e-bay. I didnt ever weigh it. I wasn't too concerned with the weight of the wheel, I just wanted to make sure I had a 19 for a spare.

Default Additionally, if you are running aftermarket wheels w/ cone seat lugs...
...you won't have to carry around spare lug bolts if you have the same type of wheel (cone vs. ball seat - and differnt length too).

Default I'd potentially be interested in the stock wheels
if you haven't promised them elsewhere as yet. Are you anywhere near NJ?
