Abstract
Let denote the wheel on vertices. We prove that for every integer there is a constant such that for every integer and every graph , either has vertex-disjoint subgraphs each containing as minor, or there is a subset of at most vertices such that has no minor. This is best possible, up to the value of . We conjecture that the result remains true more generally if we replace with any fixed planar graph .
