How may would you need? I might be getting some this weekend.
Four would be the minimum, 6 would be the maximum I would need. I'd like to have a spare and then the 6th would be nice as a "spare spare" in case I needed parts or one was damaged. It all depends on price, though. Are they complete with the runflat insert?

Lanty, you know the run flat inserts are very heavy? Like 60 pounds each for the 16" ones.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

All of the 12 bolt rims I have seen have the rubber run flats. If I was going to run the tire with the run flats in them I would take the rubber and turn off the run flat part and use it as a bead lock insert. The run flat is designed to get you out of trouble if the tire goes flat and you still need to drive. I think the hard rubber would damage the tire if driven on.
If its any cheaper, I have some solid rubber run flats for 16" rims. 45236

Tim, are you sure about the 60lbs?
Rubber ones are supposed to be about 35, and I have it in my head the mag ones in my rims are lighter yet.

And they will ruin the tire if you decide to use them when you have a flat. Not worth it in my opin unless its a trail only rig w/o a spare
I was talking about the solid rubber run flats on the LAV rims my XZL tires came with. I can't check the weight because I buried them as part of my shooting back stop a year ago.
I didn't mean to muck up this thread arguing about run flat weight. Sorry about that Sermis and Lanty.

I'm not super concerned about the weight. I would like to keep the runflats intact just to preserve their emergency usage. In my mind, the ability to take the rim apart on the trail will allow me to repair a tire if I need to, but if I'm ever in a situation where stopping is not a good idea and I have a flat, then it would be nice to be able to get to a safer spot without tearing the rim up or loosing the ability to move. I will most likely just use my HiLift and put the spare on and repair the tire at another time. The onboard air compressor should make patching tires a snap.
