Re: A new great spare tire debate? (not)

Bill and List,

Just offering the VW wheel as a quick and inexpensive option, not to
start a debate on which is better or the best full size spare option.
The aluminum VW wheel is 15" and 6" wide, which is the same width as
the stock Delorean front wheel. Keep a plastic bag for your flat. 

Later,
Rich W.
