Aluminum Space Saver Spare ?

Hey everyone..I am Andy, in Maryland and in the market for an 87-90 GTA. I am looking at restoration parts and was wondering how rare an aluminum space saver spare is..it has 10 spokes (kind of a double 5 star design) Thank you all in advance for your help....I am going to need it this summer!

Welcome to TGO. The spare you mention is not particularly rare. I've owned several. They appear in the classifieds from time to time. You might take note that that spare won't fit 89-92 rear disc cars. More general info in the following link:
