So, I'm narrowing the search for the perfect, affordable tires for my '87
Syncro Westie.  But, since I want to have 2 spares for the trip to South
America, I'm going to need another wheel and a place to put the extra spare.

If I go to a junk yard that specializes in VW stuff, what kind of wheel do I
ask for?  Any 14" steel VW wheel?  How much should it cost?  If I can't find
a used one, do I go to VW for a new one or do I get one from the list
suppliers?

Assuming I get the wheel, buy the tires and now have two mounted spares,
where do I put the extra spare?  The 55-south listees have been talking
about mounting an extra spare on the rear.  It seems to me that this would
be in the way.  Can't you mount a tire on the front, like the older buses
do?  At any rate, do I look for a spare tire mount in the junk yards, too?
If I can't find one, how do I get a new one?

All help for the newbie will be much appreciated.
