Just reading this, is there a problem if the GTO wheel is 17" and you are running 18/19 or 20"?
What is wrong with getting some proper Maser wheel nuts and have them cut down on a lathe?
Cheers Drew, been looking on flea bay but nothing going, will keep looking
We will be bidding against each other ....... Lol
Hmm okay, yes that's a very good point, I hadn't thought of that, what a donut!

Guess what, saw a newish Porsche thingy at the traffic lights in Dunchurch this afternoon.. The girlie in passenger seat had a huge wheel and tyre on her lap, she didn't look a happy bunny...I had to smileNot entirely to be fair. This seems to be one of those things that divides the community. There are plenty of members that absolutely demand a spare wheel. Then the other group (like me) who can't honestly remember the last time the needed a spare [1] and really can't be arsed worrying about it in the same way we no longer carry distributor points or spare plugs.

[1] I can in fact recall I got a puncture in one of my 156s about 10 years ago. I had a spare, but couldn't get the bloody wheel off anyway so *still* had to call the AA. So, frankly I'm happy that *if* I get a puncture once every 10 years, and I need to call the AA as I don't have a spare, that's OK by me. Ive lost the same number of radiators and fuel pumps in that time, and I don't carry spares of them

my suggestion – skip the foam and keep a pair of pliers, a rasp and plugs in the trunk. they're less than $5 and you can repair most anything without even taking the wheel off. too often I've tried the foam and it just leaks out the hole...

I've had the plug kits for a bike, but never really trusted them. I had Slime on a bike though and it really *really* just worked. I have a can of Slime spair in the boot. Pretty confident, but have the AA card which is the final call.
