salvage yards?

for $700, you may as well get a whole set of aftermarket wheels.

if it's a mini spare, the instructions are on the tire...only drive for like 50km @ max 55 km/h or something like that...

For your sake and ours, change it ASAP

take that 700 and get a set of summer wheels and tires and get one or 2 steel wheels and wheel covers for your front tires
