It is a shocker, isn't it. Untill you are consoled by other owners Smile

Skoda does not give the fifth wheel as alloy for any model. A few other manufacturers also do the same.

Every Car manufacturer does like this, they provide for 4 wheels.
And when I asked SKODA company/dealer, they told, if 5th is provided with alloy, then u may keep the punctured tyre without repairing, (not a valid reason) but all told the same word. Surprised Surprised Surprised

what is the technical reason for providing fifth wheel as steel,because fifth wheel will be seldom used and tyre will not be used during its valid age.
