Stevo309 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Apologies if this is the wrong forum! I currently have a spare on my 1.9 gti that is a nasty rusty steel wheel and actually should use tapered seat bolts. I guess it would get me home but I'm lucky to have a spare set of 5 speedlines so my question is, should i install this under the car, or is it best as it used to be 20 years ago to keep it in the boot or get some sort of locking mechanism? Are these still targeted by thieves? Can you still get a locking mechanism for the standard underboot spare wheel cradle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liquid_106 97 1 Cars Posted September 14, 2010 If you were to keep it under the car, I'd shrink wrap it with a bin liner or equivelent, should keep it in a better condition than just leaving it to the elements. You could use something like this to keep it more secure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
