For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Picker, if you have alloys on the car, use alloys not a metal wheel as they are balanced differently, go on eBay / Gumtree / 1st Choice / Breakerlink / Vauxhall Breakers, all these sites are FOC, give then the year / make / Tyre / Wheel size, you will find these details on your cars tyres, take a bit of advice, do not go for used tyres from some places that sell cheap tyres / Wheels, these could be damaged Eg/ hitting Kerbs, bubble on the tyre wall, these can blow out at speed, if you see one on these sites, ask for an image to be taken & a Warrantee that the Wheel / Tyre is ok & a legal Thread, you should get a decent one with postage depending where you are for under £40.
A full size road wheel will almost certainly not fit the wheel well so you'd have to lug it around in the boot , taking up valuable space. If Vauxhall offer a steel spare as an option that will fit the well that is the best choice. You will be limited to a recommended 50mph whilst this wheel is on the car but punctures don't happen that often and you may nener need it. If you source a wheel not supplied by Vauxhall be very careful it is identical to the official spare.
