Nigel Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I am after a 15" spare wheel for my motorhome as, like a lot now, all you get is a can of tyre weld, fine as a get you to help for a normal puncture but not much good if you damage the tyre or drive on it flat. Don't mind if it is a wheel or wheel and tyre anything considered. Thanks Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Have you tried the local breakers yards?There used to be a big breakers yard near Exeter just off the old A30 - White Horse was it called?There are lots of breakers online who will also arrange delivery but you will need to specify the exact vehicle year and model and to be certain the precise wheel size and tyre size as well plus the PCD (pitch centre diameter) which is an invisible circle that runs through each of the bolt holes and if you get it wrong it will not fit.

Cost me over double that from Fiat dealer. £200 !!! For a spare Wheel ! Was it a gold plated Alloy one ? First they say that a spare wheel is an 'Accessory' (which it isn't) then they stick on a silly price AND add VAT. If I bought a £40,000 motorhome I would insist that a spare Wheel was part of the Deal. or No deal. Ray :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 If you are trying to get one from a breakers yard, check out any Iveco vans as they use the same wheel rim. I could have had an almost new rim and tyre quite cheaply but my van has 16" rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinfrier Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 A wheel from FIAT is about £80 plus tyre at over £100 it's easy to see where £200 comes from I got a PUG wheel same as FIAT but about £30 less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks for your comments. I will try a breakers first but if not i may contact one of the people who replied to my request. Cheers Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The quote of £80 for a new rim from Fiat sounds a bit low. They quoted me £115 + VAT for a 16" rim. I phoned around a lot of other places and the prices were all within a few pounds of the Fiat price. I got a `new` second hand one for £34.

Basil Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Bought a 15" Boxer rim from a normal Peugeot dealer (same wheel) at a cost of £34.80 add the cost of the tyre at £65 inc. makes a brand new price of £99.80. I did find several at a breakers yard but they wanted to sell them complete with part worn tyre at £30, as I would never use a used tyre, that price did not give me a justifiable saving over a new rim only.
