Anyone thinking of getting the spare tire kit for the convertible??
So from Kenny's post from some time back https://www.myg37.com/forums/2649806-post2.html, I should expect to pay 490. Has anyone gotten this for less and any pics?

I have the Spare Tire Package and only took it because it was already in the car. I am probably going to take it out so I can have a little more storage. Just use road side assistance if you get a flat.
If you want I will post some pics tomorrow.

In the Tampa Bay Area when I was looking for a 2010 Convertible everyone I looked came with the spare tire option. I couldn't find any without the spare tire... But like NewGMan said just use roadside assistance.

Yeah, roadside assistance is not much help in the extreme case of a national holiday and a shredded tire and all tired places and dealerships are closed. More info here https://www.myg37.com/forums/2856393-post6.html Just from a time standpoint and if I'm out of state, I'd like to have the option.

this is a good addition to ur car for alot of reasons but it adds even more weight to the already heavy vert. i just got a oem wheel off of the net and left it in my garage if i need it but thats only if the tow truck cant make it for some strange reason and not yet have i had a problem getting a tow for any particular reason. plus there no place for the windscreen if u dont want it set up in the car.

Anyone have a part number for the kit? Does it come with the wheel and tire or is it just the toolset? My dealer told me that you just buy a wheel and tire - no reason to buy the kit. I was concerned about it fitting in the "sub-floor" in the trunk if it was a full size wheel/tire.
I would definitely prefer a spare over the tire repair kit - I lose a tire every other year or so - twice on a stretch of road leading up to Lake Placid where there is no cell phone signal. I'd hate to be dependent on a tire patch kit in those circumstances.
