The wheel is from a different make but the tyre size is mine: 155 80 R13 and the steel wheel holes all look similar to mine. Can anyone check and advise, please - the ebay link is www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267183537792

Thank you very much in anticipation.

If you are looking to pick up from the UK

And you want 4x steel

From a 500 is the easiest but they are 14", but fit okay with the correct tyre fittef

Most salvage yards should be able to get you the correct 13" panda steel rims, they get taken off and thrown into the metal recycling bins for melting down normally, pandas are being scrapped every day

You could try the wanted on here also
 
You're really brilliant for spotting a difference as the two are very close and I couldn't (and still can't) see any based on the listing photos. So that this can be of benefit to others in the future:
Below is my Panda R13 steel wheel, followed by the R13 one from above eBay listing (which was originally in a Ford 2005) -- for comparison:

The difference isn't something you could tell by looking at them. Unless you lined them up one on top of the other.

The hole in the centre is a different size and the holes for the studs are spaced differently.

The PCD (pitch circle diameter) for the Fiesta is 4x108

Fiat have for years used PCD 4x98 on many cars.

If buying one wheel, you'll ideally need to match the PCD, rim width and offset.

For the Panda 169, that's 4x98, 5.00B, ET35

I would search 'Panda breaking' on eBay, find a local one and ask the vendor for a wheel.

500 wheels should allow you to use wider tyres. In my opinion 175 is the ideal. 195 is too fat and the standard 155 wears the fronts rapidly.

I have looked for aftermarket steels but 15" is the only size I can find.
