I need one. I have Boxster rims on my car. I think the bolt patter is OK but what about the offset???
I see a few on Ebay and would like to buy one. I even found one up here in Canada. WDYT? 944 rim |

The nice thing about a steel spare is that if you HAVE to have a new tire mounted on the road, some 17 year old drop out won't be able to ruin an expensive alloy.
The front mounted full size spare also absorbs some energy in a frontal crash. That said I've done both and currently have full sized tire/alloy wheel combo in front for originality's sake. I have a space saver spare with electric air pump that is awaiting my change of heart back to its use. |
