where to get a cheap spare wheel

Jane C · Nov 1, 2010

Just got my FL2 to discover that it doesn't come with a spare wheel but some kind of foam puncture repair re-inflation thing. Not a happy camper, especially when the dealer told me it would cost nearly £500 to get the "spare kit".

Have been looking on breaker sites but found nothing so far - does anyone know if the wheels on the FL1, FL facelift are the same as the basic 16 inch alloys for the FL2? I am starting to think getting one of these might be easier/cheaper :doh:

sadly, the wheels are different between FL1 and FL2.

£500 is an outrage. do they do a steel wheel for the FL2, or is there a space saver ? alternatively, if you could find out the pitch etc for the wheel, there may be a cheaper alternative.

good luck

Thanks freelance - not heard of freel2.com but will go have a look

Optimus Prime, I have no idea what the spare is supposed to be, but will pop into Stratstone and find out. It was the sales person there who suggested I look at a breakers so I am sure they will be happy to give me the info I need.
