    Ok I'm such a girl!!! right this is the deal everyone. I know very little about my own car! (like I'm in a confession box!). I was driving on the Naas motorway and my tyre blew out and fked up the wheel/alloy. I'm completely broke at the moment but need a second hand wheel for the car (I need it to drive up and down to me ma and pa being a culchie). I'm hoping to get the same, original wheel (with the 'VW' on it) for as little as possible. Can anyone help me!? my little baby looks silly with the safety tyre on! and I'm too afraid to drive anywhere on it. I really appreciate any help. Thanks guys.

    get the measurement on the side of the wheels....( on the tyres wall... should be 175/75/16 for example.... ) Very important ! as you dont want one being bigger then the rest !!
