i have one. never used by me. never even stored in car. it's sitting in my storage. bought for 50 bucks, so you can have it for 50 :beer

while they save space, they are actually heavier, or at least just as heavy, as the standard wheels, mind you.

sorry to hijack thread starspeed.
I had wondered about space savers myself.

Thrash, do you know what vehicle yours came off and have you trial fitted it to the front/rear of an actual staz, do you know it's offset?
A reply thread in the Tech section could be useful. thanks

i was told mine was for a 180sx/s13. There is info floating around this forum to state that these ones fit. However, I have not tested this myself - the one i got has remained in my storage since being purchased - never tested on my car, not even put into the boot, as it doesn't feel any lighter than an alloy wheel (i was interested in weight savings, not space savings).

From my research, space saver spares are almost always around +40 offset. Since they are very narrow, this causes no problems and they fit almost any car if the stud pattern is right.
