Is this a Triumph Dolomite 13x4.5 wheel I found it in the spare wheel well of my Latham F2.

It certainly LOOKS like one, though I suspect it will be worse than useless on your car, if it even fits at all (though I know the PCD matches) It kinda depends on what brakes you are using!

I also don't recognise the wheels on your car but the Blue one has MGF 15" wheels so assume those are 14" or 15". In which case the best spare to use is probably a 14" MGF steel spare wheel. these are readily available and cheap and normally come with an ancient but unused 185/65/14 tyre of reputable make. This wheel fits (just - it's a gnat's too tall) in a Dolomite spare wheel well, so stands a chance of fitting yours too. I have one on my MGF 15" shod Sprint. Even though it's not a "proper" skinny space saver wheel, the rules for it's use are the same as it's not an exact match. You know, restricted to 50mph, replace asap, blah blah!

Thanks Steve. My car is running on a set of 14 inch Revolution 5 spoke alloys shod with 185/60 tyres. I need 14's to clear the vented disc and 4 pot calipers.
I will keep an eye out for a MG spare.

For the 14" MGF spare, here appears to be a good value source, rather than pot luck off ebay:

Excellent thanks for the tipoff. I have ordered one.

Unfortunately my order has been cancelled. They had sold the last one but not updated the website.
