Full size spare?

Do you think a full-size spare put to much weight in the back?

Why use a full spare!! If you have some nice mag why by an other one it could end up pricey for some people.

The name "spare" says it IMO, it's for a short period of time!!

My 2k GXE came with a full size spare on an alloy rim - a nice surprise. I guess I would use it if I damage a rim and put the spare on a steelie...

The owner's manual says that this is on Canadian models only for some reason. But with winter coming the weight in the back comes in handy

My Canadian 2K GLE has a full size aluminum too! It's good feeling to know you have a spare for the set in case you hit a curb.

My 2k2 came from Canada and has a pseudo full size spare. It's not as wide as a regular wheel, but it's basically the same diameter.

My 2k came with a donut spare. I replaced it with my stock wheel when I bought my Z wheels
