This is the spare wheel from my '68 Beetle. It was repainted painted when the car was restored back in '89 and fitted with a brand new Firestone. I never needed to use it. Now, after 14 years of sitting snuggly in the spare wheel well at the front of the '68, it's in a stack of four other unwanted VW wheels outside the back door, filling with rainwater and leaves.

But I go to see the '64 tomorrow!
