Best place to get one most probably is LA dismantlers (look them up on the web then call them as they never return an email inquiry) or another salvage place like Oklahoma Foriegn.
I'm with you... if I ever buy a 987, the first thing I'm gonna do is get me a spare tire. That's completely nuts if you ask me!

Hi,
My personal experience with LA Porsche Dismantler has been spotty to poor. They usually have the highest prices of any dismantlers I have come across.
Of the three things I purchased from them, two were returned because one was in awful condition, quite contrary to their description and assurance. Another was inoperative, again contrary to their assurances. In each case, the items took 21 days or longer to reach me despite paying for premium shipping.
They were reluctant to take the returns, but finally came around. Getting the Credit posted to my CC card was a different story, it took more than a month the 1st time and the second I just disputed the Charge with the CC Co. They seem to take their sweet time on everything and are not that knowledgeable.
Oklahoma Foreign is very Customer Focused and seem knowledgeable, but they don't seem to have a deep inventory - they have never had the part I wanted.
One dismantler I have had great success with is Porsche Dismantler in Rancho Cordova, CA (
www.mazdaporscheparts.com ). They are knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and have the best prices. They have always had what I was looking for. You will usually talk directly with Sam Matsoyan, the Owner, and items are usually shipped same day. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
