Default Any old wheels wanted

Following on from my "Please take my car" thread on the For Sale forum, I am looking for two wheels, 15" or 16" must have tyres but they can be as bald as a billiard ball.
I need to be able to roll out a 940 Estate from my garage and get the damn thing onto a flat wagon or trailer.
I'm based in North Yorkshire most of the time so local to the north east would be preferable and obviously cheap as they are just going to the scrappy.
Thanks
Tony H

The offset will be wrong, but you can put Ford 5x108 wheels on. Maybe you can find some rusty old steelies from a van going for nothing?

I wouldn't drive it because of calipers potentially rubbing and other nonsense, but if it is just going to be trailered away then it might be alright.

Thanks, good option
Not worried about calipers scraping the wheel, more likely scraping the ground as they are dangling on flexis after removing the discs.
