Help! Need a new wheel.

elsien

I’m struggling to find the part number. Tried to photograph behind the wheel but can’t find anything that looks right. Taking it off to look at is not an option for me. 

I did try to look at the spare, but it’s got the yellow only use at 50 thing on it although it is a full size one, and it’s also just too heavy for me to lift out for a proper look. this is all I can say, but I’m presuming it applies to the only use at 50 warning bit not the full wheel. if that makes sense

This is what’s on at the moment. 

The markings inside were given to me by the garage when they put the new tyre on.

The ones that look like my tyre on eBay have different markings hence my confusion.

That is a Skoda Fabia III/Rapid MATO wheel.

There are actually two product/part numbers.

One for plain silver
Aluminium Rim 15" MATO Škoda 6V00714958Z8

and
One for Brilliant Metallic Silver
Aluminium Rim 15" MATO Škoda 6V0601025A8Z8

I believe yours might be the first one, plain silver under all that dirt??

There will be another "manufacturers code" stamped on the wheel somewhere, it's not the actual Skoda part number though, but part of the number will be similar to the Skoda part number.

Found the part number courtesy of a very nice mechanic at the Skoda garage.
if anyone is now able to confirm the correct eBay or any other better priced ones I would be eternally grateful.
And yes, it is silver under all that dirt! Been thinking for months I need to go clean it.

Ebay has one for £180 + £8.40 postage - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405155935407 - so you've save 50% already!

Having said that, you'll need to get someone to fit a tyre onto it as well - any local tyre depot will do that for a small fee.

Go onto a Skoda forum like briskoda.net and ask if anyone is selling one.

Otherwise there are sites where you can make parts request across UK salvage yards.

Gumtree may also be an option.

Facebook marketplace is also worth a look.

Hello all.
Just came back to say that after scouring the scrapyards  I have managed to buy the right part for my car. Which I probably wouldn’t have done without your help.
So thank you all, it is appreciated.
