Hi Ron, thanks for the advice, I think you will find that the nuts can be used with a steel wheel as the space saver spare is steel as V8Rumble has suggested. The handbook certainly says you can use the nuts used for the alloys with the steel space saver. Anyway thanks to all contributors, just for the record I have managed to source a spare alloy rim today, not the same 25 spoke pattern but it will do as a spare and it is in reasonable shape as well I think we can now close this topic Regards Tel

Hi thanks for the information, the link you gave was extremely helpful, hopefully I can now source a rim from a scrappers with all the different cars that use the same rim kind regards Tel

Hi Peter thanks for your response. As the space saver is steel presumably the same bolts used on the alloys can be used on steel rims. As you say it might be easier just to get a steel wheel as it will only be used as a spare although it would be nice to have a matching alloy. I can't seem to find a 25 spoke wheel anywhere very strange. Regards Tel

I have an S Type with 18" 25 Spoke Alloy Rims with 245 40 18 PZeros fitted. I tow a caravan and as many will know you cannot tow with a space saver spare. I need to buy another standard rim but have been unable to source one so far has anyone any idea who made the 25spoke and or where I might get another. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Tel
