Alternaitive Spare Wheel

[JimbobA2TDiSport]

Just for peace of mind I'm looking to get a wheel of some sort that would suit as a spare. I'll probably keep the wheel in the garage and take it with me on long journeys.
I have a TDi sport with 17" alloys. what sort of wheel should I be looking for?
I've found a VW space saver from a golf with 5X100 PCD ET38 which I believe might fit. can anybody confirm this?
was also thinking about maybe making my own MDF false floor and strapping the wheel down with small rachet straps.
Alternatively a full size alloy or steel wheel from another VAG car might fit the bill as a spare. how about a 15/16" alloy with 55 profile (or whatever) tyre to make it the same diameter?

Crystal Blue A2 TDi Sport. 17" Alloys, Climate, DIS, IceLink Plus. possible cruise and chip to come

thats the spec for my A2 TDI Sport with a 205 tyre, if you look inside area behind the wheel nut cover cap on the wheel centre it will tell you what your wheel spec is. A full size spare won't fit flat this is why Audi supplied a deflated spare wheel, you will fins Audi charge £200 for a spare, trobtaining a tyre from a specialist the make used by Audi I believe is a collapsable Vredestein. Hope this helps.

Yes - its a vredenstein.

Spoke to a local Vredenstein dealer a couple of years ago and they refused to supply one direct - Audi only.

THat may have chnged with the death of the A2.
