If I got a flat on my Rolls Royce, I'd rather:

(1) call the predetermined towing company that I know to drop everything they're doing to get my car at any expense,
(2) call my aide to pick me up wherever I want with whatever other car I have in my collection,
and (3) continue to take the wife/girlfriend/mistress with me to the original destination I was intended to go to in the first place.

of course the shofer gets to swap out the wheels, you don't think the owner would actually doing that do you.

His point is the owner of a Phantom don't need a spare tire at all

He would never be stuck in a car with a flat tire.

There you go, is a real solution

A wheel/tire that size would use up the entire trunk!

It is very ugly, but it is indeed a high quality job.
