As per title...my cars got a set of 17" Alpina reps on it ,but when I bought it it had no spare...just the gunk you spray inside the tyre when you get a puncture which isn't gr8 when you've 150 miles of motorway to go :x .What'll make a suitable spare wheel to go with this set-up????
Cheers

Your Alpinas should have a similar rolling diameter to the standard wheels, so a standard 175 X 14 on a steel rim will do, assuming you don't have big brakes inside those 17" rims.
I carry a little space saver from one of those funny little Volvo coupes.
