No Spare Tire
I got forced off the road as I was leaving the neighborhood last evening by a big SUV doing about 60 in a 25 mph zone. Hit a major pothole and bent the inner rim of my beautiful HRE447 and flattened the tire. It will not hold air and I have no GD spare. I laid awake half the night trying to figure out how to get my original tires out of storage and get all the necessary tools together to get the car back on the road. I think the wheel is ruined.
Maybe the tire too! ****!! Can you buy a spare of some sort for this car? I don't want to do this again!!

I had this problem 2 weeks ago, something hit my tire and I drove on it till I got to work. (didnt know I got a Flat) The rim didnt get damage thank god! but I needed new tires. $300.00 My car was on jack stands for 2 days till wheel works was able to find a new tire for me. It sucks to get a flat on car that dont have spares

There is the list of parts to put in the factory spare, just like my
2003 C32 came with new.
It uses a special 17x7.5 wheel with a 225/45ZR17 tire.
