Default f-sport air compressor and tire repair kit

Hey guys, was just browsing the Sewell sight and stumbled across this air compressor and tire repair kit.

Anyone have it? used it? worth getting?

I ask because ive got the staggered 5-spoke rims and think this could be useful if it works

Thanks!

I am sure there is probably nothing wrong with it.

I don't have a spare (custom trunk audio), so instead I picked up a small compressor from Canadian Tire for $30 on sale:

Then I picked up some of this Slime tire sealant. Supposed to seal the tire temporarily until you can get it repaired. Makes a bit of a mess in the tire, but can be cleaned and does not damage the tire.

Haven't gotten a flat yet, but I feel better knowing that spending $50 will save me from a $100 tow bill.

I have used the compressor once on a coworkers car and it worked perfectly. Was fairly fast and inflated it to 30-something PSI without issues.

i doubt if lexus compressor better than the ones at harbor freight tools that sell for 60 usd. I have one from harbor freight I bought for 25 usd, works well but it takes a long time to fill tire. will save your bacon thoug.
