Default Spare wheel = curbed wheel?

I just curbed my IS350 front passgenger wheel today...and there's a huge scratch on the outer rim. Does the spare wheel in the trunk work with the curbed wheel? I plan on switching out the tires today if the rims are exactly the same. Thanks!

You are S.O.L. my friend, the spare is a doughnut.

if it bothers you so bad, id hit up ebay or CL's marketplace forum. Much Much cheaper than the $$$ youd pay by going to a dealership.

Another alternative: a good wheel refinisher can fix a curbed rim to look good-as-new at a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
