Try this if you need a wheel
http://www.oponeo.co.uk/steel-wheel/alcar-kfz-7355#19283125
I have a jack and brace for a Punto that would do the job iif you have a block of wood to boost the jack by 3" or so It has all the fittings to fit inside the wheel. If interested let me know.

No moral is get a spare wheel whatever you drive. I have had 2 Punctures in the last 100K miles. Both needed a spare wheel, so I am now happy that I bought one with the car. I personally think a proper wheel and tyre are required, as if a long way from base it is questionable if a space saver is safe. If the wheel is damaged you avoid the sorry saga involved here.
Best practice advice is that space savers should always go on the rear axle to avoid dangerous under steer particularly on wet roads. Power induced under steer is a serious issue on narrow tyres.

Hi.
I'd be cracking up with some of the stories I've read. I ordered this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162165726343?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It is unused, looks perfect and the supplied kit fine, although I wont use the wheelbrace as I carry my torque wrench in the boot, at under £50 I have no complaints or hassle with dealers.

I paid £16 last year for. Spare wheel and jack from eBay ?
Looks like the 15" Alfa 147 / 156 spare wheel / tyre is exactly the right size.
Anyone have the part number for the 4x4 specific jack & tool kit, along with any other items / polystyrene trims required for the boot?
Ta,
Simon

Hi.
I'll make a plywood section and use the boot "carpet" as a template. This will keep everything level in the boot and stop any heavy items sagging the carpet. I might see if its possible to have the spare upside down so the tolls can sit inside the wheel if not it still might be possible to wrap the tools in cloth and place them in the boot floor prior to securing the spare to the floor.
