Is it just me, or do those terms contradict one another? At least you haven't got a 40kg spare as standard that HANGS under your car...

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).
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!

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

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