ZS 180 Space Saver Wheel

[Smokey]

Brand New unused space saver wheels for sale as with my new 18's its of no use to me!
Has a Bridgestone B391 175/65/R14 tyre on it completely unused!
Spoken to Ralph and he advises asking between £40-£50 so open to offers in this bracket.
Cheers!

Why is in no use to you??
it will still get you home wont it?

these will only fit on the rears of 180 due to the brakes wont they.....

[Smokey]

firstly I have 18s now so can only imagine what sort of damage it may cause, secondly it will lighten the car a little.
Unsure about the fitting on only the rear but rings a bell, am sure someone like Kev will confirm this...

[stamford]

Yes, the spacesaver is for rear wheel only fitting. The handbook states this, so if you get a front puncture you have to play swapsies as it will foul the brakes!

So what are you going to do when you get a flat? Tyreweld?

[Smokey]

yup tyreweld or the good old rac lmao

[stamford]

Risky! I'd keep the spacesaver if that were me.

What tyre size are your 18's? 205/40?

Even so, the spacesaver will still work as the rolling circumference is not matched to even the OE 17's! So 18's will be no different. Just more alloy and less rubber sidewall.

[Smokey]

lol...ah well, am getting rid regardless, will take my chances so defo for sale!

[stamford]

Still got mine...............don't think it has been used since new back in '02.

[Smokey]

lol so is this a '2 space savers for sale' thread now?

[stamford]

No, mine is staying put! :D

Its a shame they dont fit on the front, I think they are so cool I would contemplate replacing all my wheels with savers. Maybe Sammy can do me a chop to see what it would look like.:evil:

[sduk]

for sure? lol

what do they look like? mine came with a tin of tyre weld lol :D

If they were able to fit all around the ZS rather than just on the rear they would have made for perfect winter wheels in Norway :hmmm: . Shame that......180bhp+ with skinny wheels like that in the snow and icey roads would have made for some interesting rally stages......oooops.....I mean road driving out of town :D

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Karen's parent's car (I won't mention the manufacturer :shoot: ) their winter wheels do have metal studs in :p pretty cool I thought.

Me with those tyres on..........and all that power and the way I drive..........those metal studs won't last long at all :rofl:
