Having just gone through the exercise....

If you've done a 5-stud conversion and then buy a set of 4 wheels as we did you'll notice you don't have a suitable spare. This is cool until you get a flat and need a spare as we found out. Fix a flat cannot fix a finger sized hole...

Now you can either buy an extra cool awesome alloy and tyre to use rarely...

OR

Do what I just did and get hold of a stock steel wheel from a BA/BF Falcon. These are 16x6.5" and match the correct bolt pattern. Stick a 195/50R16 or 205/45R16 on it and you're in business.

Cost - Free if you've got mates who'd chucked a set off their car they're also dirt cheap from a wrecker.
