Daughter of a friend of mine has a 92 RS and needs a replacement spare wheel and tire. I think it was missing when they bought the car. At any rate she's going to college this fall and really would like a spare. Any suggestions where I could look. They said they tried to order one from the local dealer but he said they didn't make it anymore. I haven't checked myself yet but will do so in the morning. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

You can have it, just pay the shipping and packaging costs.
Ive never seen a spare like that before... with an alloy... my guess is that baby is rare... As far as needing a spare goto your local auto wrecker... I bet they will practically give you one out of a 3rd gen if you can find one out in the yard... I can't imagine you would pay more then a few bucks for one used....

That spare is somewhat rare for a thirdgen.
It was an orderable option some years, and I think it came standard with the 1LE suspension.
Both of my thirdgens only had the regular black steel wheel spare. That lightweight alloy spare should fetch a good price on ebay, there are folks looking for them. Posts: 210 | From: Budd Lake, NJ | Registered: Apr 2003

... it is a 1LE option spare. The bigger front brakes required it.
Since I make a full time track car out of the ol 3rd gen, there's a lotta stuff now removed. Some of it is still sitting around the garage. Like the spare and the O/H console.
Don't really have time for ebay these days, just trying to help out a fellow enthusist.
