Just cause they save space doesn't mean they're light...

Mum's Audi has one. CONSIDERABLY lighter than the standard alloys on her car (18x8's with 245/45R18ZR's).Astron_Boy wrote:ever weighed a space saver?fraz91 wrote:Is it just me, or do those terms contradict one another?

It's also a lot of fun when you forget to wind the spare all the way up, as it tends to move around when cornering. Drifties FTW!

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
Factory 18s against a space saver, for sure there is a weight difference.
Having said that, it's still 16kgs of dead weight.

Re: Space Saver waffle
The comprehensive insurance i'm looking at includes 2 call outs, and towing to the nearest authorised mechanic or safe place.
