Spare wheel

Just enquiring about a spare wheel. I had seen somewhere, not sure when, a S3 spare wheel which is like the smaller thinner ones you get with the new cars to save space.
Does anyone know where to get one or what new version car has the same stud pattern to get one and get some extra space in my boot?
Thanks

Unless my eyes miss-lead, that's from an FD. It's the lightweight alloy version of the usually steel space saver. But it's five-stud and therefore wouldn't fit a Series 3? I thought all the S3s had a fifth full-size alloy as a spare?
EDIT: of course, once you scroll far enough down the thread you find the correct wheel. Ignore me. Talking drivel as always.
Never knew you could get them for S3s, mind. Learn something every day

There are a couple of other makes on eBay, though the diameters might not be spot on. Mind you, you're not gonna be doing mad speedz on a spacesaver anyways
