Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a single blade alloy for my Stilo, preferably in the East Anglia area?

I hit a pothole in the dark a couple of days ago, I thought I had got away with it, until a flat tyre this morning revealed a rather large crack in the inside rim of the wheel.

I have tried eBay, but the only wheels on there at the moment are for a full set of 4 and don't finish until next week.The Stilo is the car I use for my daily commute so I was hoping to find a solution over the weekend. I've also tried all the local breakers yards I could find with no luck, any suggestions would be appreciated as I really don't want to be using the space saver for more than a day or two.

Thanks.

Fiat do indeed still sell them, for the princely sum of £368.55 each, I nearly fell off my chair! Could get a whole set of 4 of another style for less than that.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately I don't think welding was an option, it was a big crack. Not entirely surprising, I hit the pothole at about 60mph and it sounded expensive, I thought I'd had a blow out or the wheel had come off! Luckily there seems to be no damage to the axle or suspension.

I managed to get a set of four off ebay for £90 and they all look in excellent nick. I think I might replace both front wheels and I'll have a couple of spares, so if anyone on here is in a similar situation in the future, drop me a pm, I might be able to help!
