Astra Club DTi spare alloy

I'm looking (on behalf of someone else) for a spare alloy for a
Vauxhall Astra DTi (2001) - unfortunately I don't see sizes, or don't
understand, what's written on the existing tyres. Could someone assist
a complete idiot in finding a spare please? I don't wish to buy a set
though. Basically I need to know how to gather the information to
go find one. I have photos, details of what's written on existing
tyres, uk reg certificate with all motor details on it.

 

What does it look like? (number of spokes). Presumably 5 stud?

Have a search on eBay for 'Astra alloy' and see if there are any on
there or you should be able to buy them singly from a Vauxhall dealer's
parts department - or even a scrapyard?

When I asked at my local vauxhall dealer about a spare or replacement
for my Vectra they were about £100 each and available singly.

At the moment both scrapyards we are familiar with have nothing in
stock. The wheel has 7 spokes, but I don't know what you mean by 5
stud.

Here's a picture anyway:

As for ordering from a Vauxhall dealer, that wouldn't be a problem -
the money isn't an issue, it's just I came in here without a clue and
don't know what details to give them.

 

Try Ebay mate, its usually quite good for that sort of thing.

 

Was it fitted to the car by Vauxhall? - I had to replace an alloy on a
cavalier - easy peasy, down to the VX dealer, make, model, year - and had
the car with me - pulled one out of the stockroom all shiny and new.

 

Write down everything you can from the tyre and take in the car or at
least a picture of the wheel. That will do it.

As an alternative, why not buy a cheaper steel wheel as you woun't be
able to see it anyway?
