Ever had a look at your Spare Tire ???

[EXceptional]

My Wife's Tires on her Infiniti EX35 were starting to feather & cup and make noise, so I thought it was time to rotate them in a "X" fashion.

I couldn't find the Lock "Key"... so I went snooping around in the Spare-Tire Compartment.

I pulled the Spare-Tire out... it's a 17 Inch Alloy-Rim painted with Gloss-Black Paint and a Bridgestone Tire mounted.

I was impressed...











The Backside...



Re-installed in the Spare Tire Well...



BOSE Sub-Woofer re-installed...



No greasy looking, stamped out, rusty plain ol Rim for us !

It was surprisingly light... for a Spare.

See for yourself !

Murphy's law says you'll need your Spare, soon after you take it out !

I am impressed, I have never seen a alloy rim used on a spare. Quality stuff!

I believe the spare tire/rim weighs less than 30 IBS.

I believe the spare tire/rim weighs less than 25 IBS.

How come you went and added 5 pounds of weight to your reply ?

I`m not 100% sure the exact #, but I do remember weighing it and it`s around 20`s ibs. I thought I was saving 35IBS until I weighed it and weigh it close to nothing... My pornographic memory tells me it`s 23IBS.
