I have (2) two front OEM wheels/tires with TPMS and smart center caps for sale. See photos of fronts at this link: http://www.fernatt.com/files/smart_s...eels-tires.zip

The rears are already sold, but if you need a front wheel/tire due to damage, etc. here's a chance to pick up one for $160 plus shipping or pick it up locally.

You can see the original description in a previous thread: http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/for...98/#post189942

FYI - I have one stock front wheel/tire with TPMS and center cap remaining from my original set delivered with the car in Sep '08. Less than 6K miles, excellent condition. Let me know if you need one or want one for pothole insurance. Hopefully not, but you never know...

can this be used as a temp spare all around? Or do you need the rear?

Don't want to speak for Robert (I bought his other front) But the front will serve temporarily in any position. I bought one more used one as insurance after getting glare blinded and hitting a curb while turning into a grocery store.

Waiting for a flatbed wasn't too bad, (we have AAA, so it cost nothing)but the delay to get a replacement has me convinced a spare in the garage is a requirement.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think I've seen other posts where some owners keep a front wheel as a spare, but you should probably contact a dealer (or someone more knowledgeable please chime in) and ask the question to be on the safe side.

Well, it seems that the consensus from those with experience is that you can use a stock front wheel as a spare.

Front wheel as spare

If anyone wants a stock front wheel, tire, and TPMS see posts above about the one I have for sale.

Still have one front wheel/tire/TPMS/center cap for $125 plus $25 shipping to anywhere in the continental US.

If anybody's teetering because it's a long-distance, internet, unknown seller...I've got his other front wheel and tire assembly on my car and it was just as represented. In eBay lingo: good seller!
