Talking JDM Spare Tire (56K No-No)

Well, in my quest to move up the JDM ladder - I now possess this: Fitment is as good as OEM and it fits in the trunk well without a problem. (Don't forget to click on the thumbnails to enalrge the pics)

wow...just wow. NO offence, I just think that's a little too much, JDM or not. It's kinda just a waste of money, but what isn't in the car modding industry??

Did it come w/ a JDMscrewdriver?? I've seen a thread where a guy go a screwdriver stuck in a tire of a rim where it was from JAPAN HONDA

Is it lighter than the stock steel spare? Would be cool to see the weights of the two.

I know it seems like I've gone mad and wasting money in getting this JDM spare, but look at the way I've wasted money on my car already
Like Benz_05_TSX mentioned - what in the car modding industry isn't a waste?

There is a purpose for this particular madness. Besides the whole "JDM" thing, this spare is able to clear a BBK which I hope to be getting as one of my mods in the future.

The price is also a lot less than everyone may think - under $90!! As one of the JDM addicts on this site, I couldn't pass up the deal. As far as the weight difference with the OEM spare, I couldn't tell you - didn't even think to weigh them.

mltk53 - The Mugen front is off and stored for the winter as well as the 19" SSR's. I'd be plowing the streets if I left the Mugen front on

Who ever said that I was driving around with this thing on? I put it on the car to make sure the damn thing fits.

I agree with you guys that its not the most attractive thing in the world, but this thing is staying in the trunk well just like everyone else's spare tire.

The JDM spare looks like it's made from aluminum. I bet it is lighter in weight than ours. Great mod!
