Guys, I'm bit a newbie here, but just bought my first 996 c4s and need to know is there a tool to remove the center hubs? My C4S came with the C4S hubs but I may want to remove and replace with the Porsche design logo. Is this something I can order from Booth?

While we're on the subject of tire changes, I thought I'd share what I carry in my own personal "emergency roadside assistance" kit.
I made a small bag of goodies which fits behind my spare tire in the bottom of the boot (this works because the spare is inserted 'lying backwards' to accommodate the smaller C4S boot space). The goodies (see pic below) include:
-Porsche wheel lock
-wheel hanger from Boothe www.boothedesign.com <-NICE STUFF!
-"soft socket" from Boothe
-Craftsman torque wrench
-Giant plastic bag for flat tire
-Knee Pads (to change tires, not to get a promotion)
-Gloves (to keep my hands pretty)
-Porsche tire gauge ($26, Suncoast)
-Speed Yellow Flashlight (Craftsman)
Assorted goodies for emergency use:
Spare tire, tool kit, bag of "goodies," and 1 qt Mobil1 - ALL fit in das boot!!!!!!

Dave, recent posts about flats have sparked my paranoia of encountering the same problem. I am a bit confused about the collapsable spare. Pardon my maybe dumb questions.
For the 997 is the part number: 996 362 020 03 ?
Will the spare wheel fit in the front trunk of a C4S ?
I have been quoted $656 by Suncoast...is that about right ?
Have you any concerns about the spare wheel moving around in the trunk and denting the hood from below (Suncoast were concerned) ?
BTW, many thanks for your post.

Ultimately, the REAL issue on the spare tire is where to place the bad wheel/tire after you change it out! Imagine how hard it is to find room for an eleven (or larger) inch rim in that car! Plan ahead with a heavy bag, etc,

Since our cars don't come with a spare why would one need this? Are people also buying a spare to carry around with them?

I understand people get flats but I hope you don't get one so often that you need to carry about tools and such. I know I have been lucky and I will keep my fingers cross as I'm sure my luck will run out. How often are people getting flats?
