Since I tow, I want to carry a spare so I don't get stuck somewhere with a flat tire. However, Tire Rack doesn't have any 19" wheel options (just discussed with one of their reps). Any other suggestions for options or anyone got a single 335 they want to sell?

Not to sound like a shill for this company (posted this url before on another thread) , but I found them searching for wheels. They might have a wheel in your style.

Also check ebay, of course.
Finally I assume any wheel/tire designed to go on the bmw lug pattern that is of appropriate diameter would fit, wouldn't it? Just do the calculations (google for a calculator if you don't know how) and make sure the tire has the proper load rating and overall diameter, backspacing, etc and I think any design would do. Basically start with the other X5 e70 tire designs and look for a used one for sale.
I assume your issue would be being far away from home with a trailer behind you, since as you know runflats will get you home at reduced speed for quite a distance. I also tow at work and my nightmare is an unfixable flat with my gear behind me on the expressway.
