You are asking if you could roll around on the spare tire....I want to know why you would even consider it. Have you even looked at that thing!! It is by far the ugliest piece of crap I have ever seen in my life.....Lexus must have gotten a hell of a deal on that color! I would have to be in very very very bad shape to make me want to put that thing on my baby....even if it was for only a few miles.

^^ A flat is flat.....

You don't think about it much until you have one.

The space saver spare rim & tire is good to have.

I think you can get them for approx. $2 each..

You can then still call AAA if you want them to change your tire...

haha... actually last time I got a flat, they just pumped it back with air and I drove to the tire shop

Where can I get them for $2? Dealer?

Glad I read this thread - I didn't even think about the lug nuts since I have aftermarket rims - guess I'll have to put 5 OEM lugs in the trunk too (boo for more weight

).

For those of us with aftermarket 19s - I don't know about you guys, but I did my best to match the overall diameter to the stockies, so I don't think it'd be a problem.
