What do you think of the price?

I think the price of that wheel is insane!!

Thats a shared part number for the rim, buy the rim on its own and then source the tyre from the likes of Camskill or the likes for around £50.

 

Dont bother with the foam insert, as you can store more stuff inside the wheel when face down.

Utter ruubbish.  A standard 18" Gemini rim is only about £20 more, okay a tyre is extra but can be used, a space saver is only that.

 

The back price .... You can get a scissor jack from Amazon for a tenner.

A quick look on ebay shows the same wheels for ~£80.

 

Annoyingly the 5E seems to be 5x112, which are rarer for spares. Most of the space savers i see are 5x100.

 

For instance
