Spare wheel

Land Rover want £188 to replace my rusty spacesaver wheel. Is there any way to get one of these for less money?

Ad “ad” here or fleaby. Peeps here often resort to giving them away. Best to change it for a proper alloy. Thumbs Up

As above, buy a full size alloy. If you're careful, you could pick up a single full size alloy and tyre for less than that.

Plus with an SE, assuming standard 18” wheel and tyre sizes, there’s a range if alloys that can act as spares and keep the spare the same size as the rest. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match if it’s only being used as a temp measure. Also no 50/50 restrictions. Thumbs Up

Just be careful about buying a cheap spare wheel!

It might be the spare wheel stolen a few miles away from you last week.

Stolen spare wheels are costing the owners/insurance companies up to and exceeding a £1,000

Best route I’d have thought would be put a Wanted add here, there will be literally thousands of excess wheels sitting in garages doing absolutely nothing but gathering dust. Sadly all of mine are gone and my addiction is cured! Whistle Whistle

Brendan has a good point but if you buy a single full size alloy, I'd guess it's less likely to be a stolen spare.

Buy a wheel from a auto breakers. I paid £40 ish (i think) and got to chose it from the range of vehicles in for breaking. You also are sure that it isn't your neighbours stolen wheel.
