Spare Wheel, Anybody? Forums

Annsman

Hi, we are going long term touring in September in our new Cheyenne 660 and I am looking into getting a spare wheel, as you will know this model doesn't have one, only the FIAT foamy stuff, (technical term!) and an inflator. Has anyone out there done the same and where did you get the wheel from? What does it weigh and how much was it?

Thanks

Hi Annsman

I bought mine from a second hand spares outfit in Bristol on E-Bay complete with nearly new tyre £52.00.

Best regards

Hi

30 kg springs to mind as the weight of the spare. Don't ask where I have dug up that info, but it is in my mind.

Check post from Camoyboy on above thread.

Has X250 rims for sale. 16 inch I think.

Hi Annsman

I have an Autotrail Cheyenne 630 LB and I obtained my wheel rim from the Fiat Dealer about £75.00 and a budget tyre from a local tyre company around £40.00 but I think that was a very good deal at the time. Like you I was not happy doing 5000 miles plus without a spare.

I have put Ultraseal in the tyres but I also bought a spare, I could not find a secondhand one so I bought the metal bit from the local Fiat dealer and had a tyre fitted. The cost was around £90 for the rim and £60 for the tyre.
It weighs around 30kg and lives under the bed.

Hi
I was also unhappy not having a spare but was unable to locate a second hand wheel so had to purchase a new on for my Fiat 130 multijet.
I bought the wheel from a PUG dealer about £60 cheaper than the same thing from Fiat.

It is easy to get a wheel and tyre,but how about the cost of supply and fiting of the wheel carrier.
