Got my MB doughnut spare tire today. now to figure out where to put it. gary

 

Trunk would be the obvious choice.

 

yup...in the coupe but not the roadster. I'll just leave in garage to be deployed if needed. gary

 

Hmm...

That is a conundrum. How big are the MB spares?

 

....and for the ignorant, where does mb mount them?

 

I'm in the market for an MB donut also, but isn't it only 15 inches around? I plan on leaving mine in the trunk. Is this the same donut from the SLK 320?

Yes I'm curious as well. Do you have a part #? I called a dealer looking for a price, and he said he needed a Vin in order for him to do that obviously I couldnt give him one...

 

It's really just run around. I know what you're talking about though. It makes it easier for them to look up, but if you tell them you don't have a MB and you just need the part for a certain year, make, and model, they can get it for you.

 

I'm also interested in that spare donut. Can you tell me what year SLK320 I should ask for? or a part#? I've looked on e-bay but need to know what fits my '05 coupe...Thanks

 

Any donut spare that is for the SLK 320 will fit our wheel. I got mine off e-bay from a salvage shop in Calif. It was off a 2002 SLK320. Was never used came off a total. I put air in, tried it on one front & one rear wheel & was a perfect fit. Measure it's dia. & get yourself a trailer tire cover off e-bay close to the same color of your trunk liner & it sits in their almost unnoticed unless you peer in thru the back window to check.

 

Where do you plan to put the flat?

 

logic......who has time for logic?

Those big old ugly tires with brake dust and crap all over them.......why, on the front seat of course!!

killjoy.

 

Roof mount.

 

I was looking to keep one in my garage for a local event, but this is more than I expected to pay.

It will remain unnoticed until you have a bad wreck, then it becomes a very painful hockey puck bouncing around your head. Don't forget your color coded hair bonnet off of the tire. Remember, there is a reason that they don't put loose heavy objects in the cabin with the occupants. Here in town we just had a guy bounce a large stereo speaker off of his head when he hit a tree, he wasn't impressed with the results when he finally woke up. A word of caution!
