What I look from in a spare wheel is one which is fully functional,
even if it's plain steel rather than alloy.

On both my current vehicles, the spare was transferred from my previous
vehicle. Because of this stupid fashion for thin tyres, they differ from
the rest of the wheels on the car, but have been declared OK.

What seem to have come in in the meantime are these idiotic aluminium
nut covers that come with one flimsy plastic "puller" in the boot to get
at the real wheel nut.

I am told they are purely decorative and I can take them all off.
