Just talking with a Bridgestone store and they have said RF 225/50/17's are $320, regular tyres $195 - $245. She was surprised at the lost cost of the RF, and thought it was probably because it's a more common size as most times BMW RF's for their customers come in at over $500-$600. She thought an alloy rim should cost approx $220. No definite quote at this stage, but I thought sounded better than what I had in mind. So we'll see, but hopefully a good alloy spare will be around $540 with tyre and I can carry around an extra RF wheel in the hope that any puncture I can change the wheel over and get the other repaired, rather than run on it and completly wreck the tyre and the chance of plugging it. It'll give me the flexibilty to go with non RF's if I ever want to when the first set wear out. Now still... where to put the damn thing.
