Kamiq spare wheel

Decided I wanted a spare wheel instead of relying on the stupid can of gunk. Have seen many offers of spacesavers for the car and dont want to pay the ridiculous Skoda prices, but wanted a full size wheel. I saw an advert for a T Cross full size and after checking the spec, ET, and PCD sizes took th...
