Default lightweight spare ?

Alright I know ive asked this before, but thought there might be a new member that might figure out where we can get a lightweight fullsize spare tire/wheel to replace the boat anchor Lexus gave us.

I was under the assumption that the TT Supra spare was carried empty until inflated.

Sorry hit the enter button. I guess the TT has the same diameter, prob. a 17'' wheel and low pro. tire. Any suggestions on the best place to get one, and would anyone weigh theirs and post the weight.

I found a Supra Turbo spare. It is 39lbs soaking wet, sits perfect on the hub without rings, and clears the Supra TT brake calipers. It ran me $146 shipped. It was cheaper than any alternative I could find to clear the brakes.
