Space saver spare wheel

[Jenga]

Having had a close shave with a slow puncture, i am now after a space saver wheel which I can keep in the boot as a back up. (I don't like the look of the spray gel). I would feel more comfortable knowing I have an actual wheel as a backup. I have rang a couple of local scrap yards, but had no joy, does anyone know where I may be able to get one of these spare space saver wheels from??

Thanks

Have you tried asking for a space saver wheel off a car with similar bolt/stud pattern (4x100). Try Rover cars for example the 400 or 45. These may work although I am no expert.

A bit of detective work shows that the bolt pattern & centre bore diameter are the same between MINI & MG ZR/ZS, so a 15" MG space saver might fit if it has enough offset.

I think the MINI space saver only fits on the rear wheels and if you get a front flat you have to swap and normal wheel over to the front & fit the saver on the rear.

I will have a word with an MG owner and see if his spacesaver fits later this week.

Bad news I am afraid.
Borrowed a full size steel wheel off an MG ZS V6 and it don't fit.
Front & back not enough clearance for the brake caliper!
Oh well, back to the drawing board!
