Can I get a spare wheel for my new Kia Rio?

My new Kia Rio has no full spare wheel. I would be unable to put the contraption left in the boot on if I get a puncture. Can I buy a spare wheel from a scrap yard and will it have to be a Kia Rio wheel?

Thanks

Hi Pad,

There is an aftermarket spare wheel kit for the Rio, available from UK-based Kiapartsdirect.co.uk, but it only works as a full size spare if you've got the standard 15-inch steel wheels on your car. If you went for the option alloys, it only works as a space saver. Probably your best bet is simply to have a word with your nearest Kia dealer. They'll know what spare tyre options are available for your car.

Let us know how you get on
