1 Odd Whel style out of 5...
Went to look at my battery today- and noticed the spare wheel/tire was a different style wheel then the other 4.

Called my salesman and he said- yep, you have a Sport model with 4 sport wheels and the spare is stock wheel (non-sport). He laughed and said thats the way they come.

This sound right to everyone else?

yes, mine came with 18's but the spare is a 17" with a different pattern.

Mine too ... I had a flat about three months ago had to change it until I could get it repaired - I felt quite bad driving with three 19" and one 17"

The spare needs only to have a matched circumference...think of it as a really nice space saver tire.

True...at least we're getting a full-size alloy spare instead of those weight-saving donuts!

I haven't checked, but would a sports package 19" wheel even fit under the cargo deck? I'm just happy to have a full-size spare instead of a space saver or run-flats.
