I need a cheap wheel to carry around as my spare. Suggestions?

Actually for my M6 GC, but this forum is more active so I'll ask here. I am selling my stock wheels, but I always like to carry around a spare (usually one of the stock wheels) in the trunk. The roads in Houston are terrible to begin with and apparently the introduction of the street sweeper, although invented in the early 1920's, has not yet made to this wonderful armpit that I now call "home". Being towed for a flat every time is a PITA.

so, does anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive 20" wheel (the size of the stock front wheel) that would fit?

I think this is the only one to have been confirmed to fit, not inexpensive however.

I bought a cheap wheel from tire rack with a michelin mounted on it for the M5. I think it's called advanti bello? Can't remember for sure...the wheel was less than 300, tire was more than the wheel. I don't know if the m5/m6 wheels are interchangeable but I was going to list it in the classifieds this week as I am waiting for a new set of wheels to come in any day now.
I drove the car to Florida from Boston back in March and I didn't want to risk getting stranded somewhere on 95 in the middle of the night waiting for a flatbed. Luckily I didn't need it!

Oh so you weren't looking to save space. So would you purchase just a front? Is it confirmed to fit front and back?
