Wife has a RS and earlier this week on he way home from work she had a blowout. Nissan recovery were called and the car was transported home as the tyre could not be repaired and there is no spare.
Tried to get hold of a tyre but because its an RS they are not easily available so took 36 hours to get one. Took tyre off myself so car was out of action for 2 days. Not happy as car has only done 1000 miles and tyre was expensive.
The point of this is that i want to purchase a spare wheel kit. Have had a look at Glyn Hopkins and there seems to be a different kit for the later Jukes, anybody know what the difference is as there are other spare wheel kits available on line which just quote Juke,
Glyn Hopkiks kit is ÂŁ220 inc tyre, which seems expensive. I purchased a spare wheel kit for my Volvo last year and that was only ÂŁ150 for a genuine volvo part. Anybody purchased one or know of a reliable supplier. Thanks for any help
 
IIRC, people have sourced spare wheels from eBay in the past.
Other the that, dealer prices it is, I'm afraid.
Trying not to be too smug but I insisted on a spare wheel kit (plus mats and mud flaps) in a moment with my salesman when he said "what can I do to get you to buy now ?"

Good Luck
 
You could see if you can get a full size alloy on ebay and have a full size spare instead.
