Default WTB: Spare/Donut

HI all.
I am not having any luck in the land of flooding, i.e NOrth Dakota. I used the full size spare 16" rim that came with my car to replace the 18" rims that I didn't like. Now my budget is pretty small and I'm looking to replace the full size spare with a donut.
Anyone have one they want to part with for cheap? I mean cheap, since you'd have to ship it to 58704.

Thanks in advance...

That's a tough one to follow and understand. You replaced four 18" rims and tires (you didn't like) with one 16" spare tire? Or you replaced all the 18" rims with 16"s and used your spare? Or you have a mixed set of wheels (3) 18", (1) 16" (Say this ain't so, as this is so terribly unsafe!)?

TMK they don't make a donut for the NB, a standard 16" or 17" wheel and tire fits properly in the well, no need. Just go to any wheel shop, or call around, and see if they have a take-off, used, beat-up, curb rashed, etc, 16" VW wheel and an old bald used tire, just good enough to hold air. It will do everything a donut would do, and more.

I sold the 18" rims and replaced all 4 with 16" rims and tires. They are all the same, I just had to use the spare 16" that came with the car. The junkyard only had 3 of the 16"s.
Does that make more sense?
