R-Design Space Saver Spare Wheel

Is there a 'Space Saver Spare Wheel' available for a 65 plate 235/40 R18 wheels to replace the emergency repair kit?

Yes. Its £250 and it raises the floor of the boot space quite significantly. But, far better than being let down by a puncture. The repair kits are great until you actually have to use them. Is there anyone out there who has actually had a puncture and wouldn't go back to having a spare?

I agree the repair kit and sealant are a nightmare and a mess. Even if it means keeping a spare wheel ideally a space saver type in the garage just in case I wake up to a flat and a qick solution to get me mobile to take the flat wheel in for repair/replacement.

I'm guessing there's a cheaper Ford option out there with a 5 bolt 108 PCD?
