Im in need of a spare wheel rim only (no tyre) to either be shipped to an address in Essex or have it available for collection by www.paisleyfreight.com . Can be used or new but no fancy prices please.

Stating the size and material may be helpful. 17" steel? 17", 18", 19" alloy etc? If alloy, any preferred style? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Why not just get any old bottle jack ? FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

I thought that Fl2 spare wheels were a standard size... Im currently using 17"rims.

Im basically looking for a standard plain spare wheel.

I probably will do just that Bob. Im more interested in a spare wheel rim actually.

Can't see the point in getting a standard spare wheel - use is very limited and if you do need it there is a speed restriction. If you get a correct size alloy spare you can swap it around with your other wheels, and if you do need to use it there is no speed restriction. The steel spare is not a space saver and takes up as much room as the alloy. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Well, took your advice and decided to purchase a proper rim instead of a standard spare wheel. You guys made good sense. Found a really good one from Ebay at €100 which is not much more expensive than a standard wheel and certainly worth the difference in price. I'll be installing a Grabber 245/70/R17 AT to match my existing set (and yes, I also have the suspension spacers installed too).

Thanks again

That's a good idea to install a new tyre - second hand wheels are pretty reliable, but you never know the history of a tyre. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
