I have a near perfect 20" supercharged wheel going spare (boxed, no tyre), if anyone's interested. I was going to put it on ebay in a few weeks. I also have a couple of 20" Supercharged wheel/Conti tyre combos, all original, done c.600 miles on the tyres before swapping them out for Stormers (but I'd charge quite a bit more for them, 'cos I was going to use the tyres off them when mine wore out).
I've been running a 20" spare on my car for almost 2 years with no problems. You just need to take the time to sit the tyre accurately on the rubber stops, so it doesn't touch the rim, and make sure the wheel winder mechanism is in-between the spokes otherwise it will rub a tiny bit of the paint away.
I now never have to worry about getting a flat in the south of France, and not being able to get a replacement on Sunday night as I'm racing back to catch a ferry (or looking a prat driving around with odd wheels)!
Bob. RRS 4.2 S/C. Zermatt. Tints. Stormers. 150+ paint defects, wonkey bonnet, scratches, detached doorseal. suspension faults. To sum it up, a �60k pile of cr4p!
