Was at the Chicago car show and seen a space saver spare tire on a five spoke styled steel wheel. I questioned some pretty knowledgeable people but didn’t get a solid answer. Well, was there such a thing? if so, how many? On a search Royce stated that cars with styled steel wheels got a spare of the same, does that include space saver?
I see the item in question is on E-bay for 3 times what he wanted in Chicago. Seller claims it was verified there. I wonder who that was? I asked Kevin Marti and he wasn’t sure how verify it was real. I thought it was cool looking, but I think I will make my own.
By the way the show was fantastic, more muscle than a Mr. Universe contest. The real fun was the Twister Special Ranchero, (only two built) that Kevin Marti WAS there to verify. They found the build sheet in the seat while doing so. I was so excited for the guy. He found the car (truck) on Craigslist for 800 bucks. No motor or tranny and very rough. But he has something no one else on the planet has, maybe.
Yes there was, even though it makes no sense… They even sold an instruction decal with a picture of it and a protective cover. Had there been only 4 wheels allocated for those that bought the set of 5 styled steel wheels you would have seen a credit on the factory invoice and I have never seen that and I have owned multiple Cougars and Mustangs equipped with styled wheels and space saver spare.

I was wondering about that. Cool piece… but pricey!
