Excuse my newbie ignorance but why are the space savers so expensive ? will nothing else fit ? and does it have to be the same size wheel ie 19". I will await the mocking for my ignorance.

They are quite rare, as they were optional. They need the same rolling diameter, so need not be a 19" wheel. There may be possible alternatives, but it opens a can of worms re fitment, offsets, etc. and also the insurance consequences have also been discussed.

Thanks for that, I had assumed options would have been discussed before and a sensible conclusion arrived at.

The OEM one I just bought comes with the cover but apparently it's tatty and he was going to throw it away. I told him to send it anyway, it's better than nothing.
