Sourcing a steel wheel...
Discussion
Seeing as we dont have a dedicated Chevrolet board, it's going here.
My old man has a Chevrolet and needs a spare wheel. Im afraid its not a corvette, but a 'spark'.
Anyway, the spare doesnt exist, its the usual can of goo in the boot.
Any ideas where to get a spare wheel and tyre from (plus jack and brace I guess too)? Used or new, not bothered. Just a normal steel wheel.
Tried e-bay with no real results, and a googlesearch suggests dealers will be looking at £200+ for the full lot, which is far too expensive.
Anywhere obvious i'm missing?

They may in the past have fitted alloys to a model, and have the old wheels kicking about. You may strike lucky and get one for a few quid? (We used to have hundreds of the bloody things, went for scrap, although this was years ago, and for old Pugs! )

My Tyres will sell you this. Not used them personally though.
Jack and brace from any motor spares place.
ETA: quick look suggests circa £60 plus a tenner delivery.

Just done a like for like comparison and MyTyres are five pound cheaper on a Dunlop BluResponse 205/55 x16.Tyre Smoke said:
What about finding out what the PCD of the wheels are and seeing if the local scrappy has something more mainstream that's compatible?

So am i right in saying that a wheel for a corsa-c would fit, according to that website?If so, thats great news, as within 10 seconds i found a corsa wheel with tyre for £30.
Was going to suggest places like this

I've seen plenty of American car places around.
Can't suggest on the jack, but for the wheel brace, why not one of the dial type torque wrenches and a socket.
