spare 15'' rim with tire

Does anyone know a good place to buy a single 15'' factory rim to use as a full size spare instead of the smaller spare tire? If this is not a good idea is it because the small steel spare wheel is lighter? Please advise...thx

I tried Ebay and junk yards and I didn't like to do it that way...I did forget about the classifieds...(man this is what happens when you spend a night in a deep cave with only 15 percent oxygen in the air). but seriously do you think the smaller steel spare is lighter than the full size 15'' alloy?

Do not pay any reasonable amount, people GIVE 15 inchers away with some rubber on them . . .

YES you are adding weight to the car and NO it will not sit flush in your trunk.

I barely have motivation to keep my doughnut in the car but scrap metal inside of one my old Kumhos was pretty persuasive.
