Sourcing a spare for a Corsa

Please advise where I might safely obtain a spare wheel for a 61 (November 2011) Vauxhall Corsa Auto 1.4. Have tried phoning Vauxhall direct - who could not help. The car has the space for a spare wheel - but only supplies a blow up kit which is not much help for a blown tyre late at night!

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
