[Closed] Where would I get a Single Spare wheel for a Scooby?

I've got a 2010 Scooby legacy with 18 inch wheels.
It comes with a emergency inflation kit, but this has been useless in the two blowouts I have had with a slow puncture leading to a sidewall split, and a pothole.
So I'd like to get a spare wheel...

Scooby dealers say £600 a pop for one spare
Aftermarket people want to sell me 4 - and the business of getting the right offset seems risky
Online scrapyard search via Breakeryard yielded not a sausage.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php

Quite often you'll find them singly on Ebay...

ebay not proving helpful for 18 inch wheels...
16" no problem!

Trouble is it is an uncommon variant - the diesel navplus - new the year before - and not enough of them have been scrapped yet!

It's possibly the common ET53 offset which has been around for years. If so, Most Subaru 18 whhels (except STI) should fit. Jimjam will know.

Just a thought... My local Subaru dealer (proven) is doing a special deal on steel whheels plus winter tyres for £600 odd. Maybe that's a countrywide thing and 18inchers may be not much more.
