is it worth it to get an extra rim?
I know some people don't wanna ride around with 3 rims and a stock wheel when they blow a tire.. has anyone here invested in a 5th wheel incase the circumstance ever came up?

Rep Power: 0 Damn, Mex, that would be straight BALLIN' . . . I don't know if it'd be worth it when all is said and done, though . . . that's like 200-300 bones for a rim AND tire that's gonna sit in your trunk 95% of the time . . . I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't get a 5th wheel, just boost up your insurance for "roadside assistance" and use the extra cash for either interior or exterior accesories..

Rep Power: 419 I had a screw in my tire and I put the spare on and it looked like crap. Not to mention that it doesn't drive well. I think it's worth it if you have a nice system in back. Then you can show off the system and the rim under some plexi. MooCoW had that done and it looked super yummy. It's not just a convenience if it's done for show. Although it is an expensive thing to get. Tough call. If you have the cash, then why not?
