Interested.
Edit: Sorry, not interested. I've re-read the title and changed my mind. I want a spare that fits over the caliper, fits in the wheel well, holds air, and gets me down the road to the service station. Poor quality is fine with me If it meets those minimum requirements. I don't need a flow formed/forged wheel for emergency use.

I get what you're saying. The manufacturer who I have asked if he could do it will be researching the concept. I think he knows more about this than either of us so I am deferring to his research and plan.

If he says it has to be 4, 5, 6 or whatever inches wide, I will believe him.

Scissor jacks will fit in a 4" deep wheel.
It'll be a tight fit for sure. I'll be interested to see what he comes up with. Let us know.

Us lowly GT owners with the PP would be interested as well :D
Yea. People have been looking for spare solutions for the 6 piston brembos, and there's very few options outside of driving with a full size spare.

Good luck finding a flush fit in the trunk with a wheel that will clear the calipers and accommodate a jack as well. There's not a lot of room under there.
you could probably skip the jack. Just have tow service bolt on the spare. They have better tools. Not ideal, but its better than a tow.

@Need4SpeedMotors may be able to make a quality spare for us, but he would need at least 100 orders.

What I am proposing is the R-style wheel he has in 19x4 or 19x5, whichever may be able to fit the trunk well and for flush.

If you are in, please state your desire for one in this thread.

***DISCLAIMER***
This idea is just that at this point...
This post is not meant for discussion of opinions, but rather if you want a spare or not. I'm going to leave the wheel dynamics up to the expert being asked to make the wheel. He will have to research the idea to see if it will work first. But if you are interested, please note that here. Thanks!

Right behind you.

assuming it's not ridiculously expensive, I'm interested.
