Been told by the dealer that I cannot have a spare alloy wheel The only way around is too
remove the 19 inch 10-spoke alloy wheel with dark paint Finish and go for the 19 inch 10-Spoke alloy wheel sparkle silver style 1 which I am not willing to do!!! Has anyone else been told the same? They have even gone back to Land Rover who have said no I have to change my wheels. This is as its a new car and they cannot make an allowance to a customers specfic request. The dealer has said to me that they will be able to sort me out on a steel wheel with a brace and jack! Still not pleased but better than tyre weld. What is the most you guys have paid for a steel wheel from a dealer...... MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I didn't buy a steel wheel but did pay £230 for a new single 18 inch sparkle matching alloy with a new tyre from fleabay. Probably paid too much but I like a matching set and I can always sell it and put back the tyre gunk when I chop the car in. _________________

Can't you just buy another wheel with the same rolling circumference for your spare? There are always odd wheels for sale on ebay.

I'm surprised that an alloy spare isn't an option whichever wheel you choose on a new car. If that's really the case I would go for the cheapest option on the new car and then buy a spare from eBay. It doesn't matter what it looks like as it's only gong to be on the car while the punctured one is being repaired. I would make sure that the one you buy is exactly the same size etc as the car wheels - there are laws about this but there's also the safety aspect.

I went down this path with my old Disco 3 as I felt that I needed a full size wheel for towing the caravan. I paid £100 for a tatty wheel and a new tyre and then sold it on when I changed the car.

I wanted a proper alloy spare wheel, so I kept an eye on eBay. Bought a set of four all with good tyres.
I have used the best as a spare wheel. Two of the others have been sold on EBay, and the third is going on today! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

If you go to the Build Your Own part of LR's www, as soon as you tick the option for a spare wheel, it advises that you will have the dark finish removed and replaced with a set of Sparkle Silver. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I've just bought an ex-demo Dynamic which came with a matching spare wheel ... a 19" 10 spoke alloy with the dark paint finish.

My dynamic also came with full size spare and alloy. Fuji White MY13 SD4 Dynamic

Mine has a 225/65/17 Hankook on a steel wheel

Is your tyre width on the steel same as your 17" alloy? MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Thank you! I wonder if the dealer paid £800 odd pound extra as that's what they are charging me! Or if they ran it through as a £185 spare wheel option  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Just buy a different wheel as the spare.

I am running Evoque 20's, but still have a brand new 18" HSE wheel in the boot.

Never used it once in 6 1/2 years. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

My dynamic came with a dark spare alloy, was £180 extra.
