S40/V50 Full size spare?

It looks like you could fit a full-size spare in the boot instead of the toy one they give you - has anyone done this?

Can you recommend a good source of OE alloys other than main dealers?

Cheers

You can put one in but you will have to get the raised boot floor unless your car is an AWD version - they already have it - might not be worth it given the limited time it may spend on there. I had two wheels replaced in August as a result of pothole damage and they cost £about £360 each which is pretty expensive for an OEM alloy.

That was for scupltors - just noticed you have medea's - even more money! I did look around for other suppliers but couldn't find any.

Yup, pretty much decided against it - might as well spend the money on something I can actually see.
