S5 Convert rims??

I wasted a tire the other day, had to use the factory doughnut, ugg what a PITA. I believe a factory rim will fit under rear deck in the 'vert. Question is where can I find one? The junkyards around here seem to not have any. I checked EBay and came up empty, they had a few GS rims, and aftermarket ones, but i'm looking for factory so I can rotate it.

So will the factory rim fit under the decklid, and if not, where can I get a new spare? The old spare looks scary, I used it just to nurse my 7 home at 30-40MPH and have it parked while I am waiting on a new tire.

Thanks.

From what I've experienced, a normal size tire and a bbs rim do not fit where a spare can fit. Its too thick for the trunk and, when laying flat, too tall for the deck lid.

If you want vert rims, I have a complete set in very good condition. Located in Maryland.
