Space saver wheel.

Anybody heard of spacesaverwheel 24 ? They do a spare wheel with tyre for the RS3 8V and it costs £140 + £18 delivery. Having a spare would save using that repair kit, as it sometimes doesn't work.

Its a good idea but seems a lot of money. I bought a new space saver wheel for £99. I still have it but sold the car last year and need to move on the wheel if anyone wants to make an offer.

When I looked into this some time ago I couldn’t find any space saver wheel that would clear the front brake calliper.

I appreciate it’s only for emergency/ short duration..... But does state in handbook about having same size tyres and tread pattern for the Haldex system to function correctly.
In the end I purchased another full sized spare and keep it in the boot area.

For the price you could just buy a really good road side assistance package to tow you to the nearest tyre shop and save the extra weight in the boot

With the way the roads are now you would have to be mad to change a wheel on the roadside. I would change one in a car park but not on the road, call your roadside assistance.
