I'm not wild about using the can of fix-a-flat should I have a tire go pop on me. I'm also not wild about being forced to call for a tow.
Recently I got some new tires and kept the old ones as emergency backups. What I was thinking is that I would buy one front and one rear rim; then mount the old tires on them. If I get a flat, I could call my lovely bride to bring a jack and the appropriate spare wheel to me.
As they would be spares for emergencies, I don't think it prudent to plunk down the big bucks for OEM rims. Can someone suggest a rim that might not look pretty, yet would get the job done?
Thanks for your help.
