You're gonna have to wait for them to make a mk8 before they release a spare for it :P

But for a mk7 that you mention in your post a mk6 wheel will fit ;)

Whats wrong with the alternative foam crap?

To be honest I'd rather have spare wheel too

The foam filler system is the same as used in the Audi A1 so I guess it must work? Kinda hope I never have to find out. Saves petrol having no spare.

What they dont tell you is that when you inject that stuff into your tyre, the tyre is not repairable when you go to get it fixed.

So a simple nail puncture that would cost £10 to fix, could end up costing you £150 if you inject that stuff.

Also, if you bugger up your rim, the foamy stuff is a good as useless....

Also if you have no jack you can't remove the knackered wheel/tyre anyway, gone down the spare tyre and jack route myself, much prefer to have be safe rather than sorry. Besides foam won't sort all punctures.
