Hi,
only got the can of sealant , and would like to get the spare , + jack kit,
Silly money from my local Stealership, (n)
and nothing advertised locally - apart from a STILO KIT,

I'm fairly confident this won't work as the Stilo are 98mm PCD , and the GP / EVO / Punto are 100 PCD,

can anybody confirm / deny this,:confused:

TIA,
Charlie
 
For a 2012 Fiat Punto 1.2 Easy Brio Pack with "Comfort" Alloy Wheels, I needed a proper spare to match (size 6.00 x 15). The boot well takes a full-size spare, and I found a rim at Oponeo - details are Alcar KFZ 7915 6,00Jx15 but they offer two other makes as well. Offered for £39.00 inc delivery. Ordered Wednesday evening and delivered Monday morning, with full tracking link provided on email order confirmation.

Very pleased with this - I checked several other forums (including Audi, M-B) before ordering, and no adverse comments.

you can legally use a 175/65/r15 84t as a spare its the wheel listed in the handbook as a spare ....

many of the GP members complain they wont fit the sporty models front wheel due to brake caliper size.... Simple solution if you get a front flat.... take the back wheel off put it on the front and put the spare on the rear :idea:
 
I picked up an r15" steel hub and tyre from my local scrappy which was the spare for an Astra
About 4mm tread, cost me £15
I belong to Britannia Rescue and they wont attend a wheel problem if there is no spare

£15 is good value - even for a wheel you may NEVER use ;)

I could understand a breakdown agency not offering to help if you'd knackered the actual wheel/rim, ( with no spare )
but a puncture repair should be o.k.,
as I'm pretty sure they still offer a service to motorcycles-- no spare there either,:confused:
