Get a new one? I paid about £25 for mine, Brand new.

To find a car rim you need the numbers on the back of the wheel.

PCD and offset figures.

If rim is 4stud 100mm pcd & you can't buy a new Al-ko hub compatable caravan rim as suggested, then look for 80s/90s Astra or Corsa wheels, they are 100pcd & also 80s/90s VW Polo as well. Not sure about offset though, but may help if you are totally stuck.

I wouldn't personally advise searching for a steel rimmed 4 studded car wheel to fit on a caravan brake hub for reasons that the 100mm. PCD may be the same but the locking taper could well be different which means that the caravan wheel could eventually loosen and come off. You need the right wheel for the hub and locking bolts, not something that seems adequate enough to do the job.

The nut taper will be exactly the same for all steel wheels, caravan or car. They are a world wide standard.
Alloy wheels MAY have a different nut taper.

Thanks for your reply,as stated it would only be a spare if ever needed.And guessing it would be better than nothing.
