    Hey Guys,

    As the title suggests, I'm looking to get a full size 18" alloy spare for my 2014 Vrs. Would anyone know where might be a good place to look? I've lodged a request on findapart.ie and sent a few inquiries out but was just wondering if anyone may have any other ideas?

    Thanks

    You dont need to get an 18" rim.
    You can get any rim, with the right fitment and a tyre with a bigger sidewall to get it to the right diameter.

    I know i dont need one but would like to source one if I can. If not I will be looking for an alternative to suit as you suggested. Thanks

    I was looking out for one for ages for my own,
    eventually one came up on done deal.
    A freshly refurbed 18" diamond cut monza for 50e with a tyre :D

    You know it wont fit in the spacesaver wheel well?
    It sticks up over the boot floor by 70/80mm .
    I got a boot floor from the scrappies and cut a hole in it to make it look nice.

    Thanks hadn't thought of that re the wheel well but on initial inspection the wheel well seems to be deep enough to fit a full size wheel, my car was an import so maybe they have different spare as standard in the UK?
