Full Size spare

[Stephan Martone <smartone98@hotmail.com>]

I am looking to get a matching rim / tire to replace the small spare that 
comes with the '97 Jetta GLX.

Has anyone found an aftermarket firm (e.g. Tirerack) that carries the OEM 
rim.  For those who don't know the spec's by heart:  Goodyear Eagle GA 
Touring M + S, 205 / 50 R 15, 7 spoke, 5 lugs.

I am a member of the Volkswagon club and will check prices from the dealers 
some of which offer a member discount of %15.

Does anyone have pricing either way?  How about experience fitting it back 
into the trunk well?

I appreciate those who might suggest scrapping the four stock wheels and 
tires for more performance minded ones, but It's the wife's daily driver.  
I'm obligated to wear the ones we have out first.  (safely)

My next car may be the VR8.  At that point all bets are off!! :-)
