RX-8 spare wheels up front on TII calipers?

Anyone running this setup? I'm having issues finding any sort of "skinny" drag racing wheel that doesn't stick out past my fender. Are these the exact same rim as the FC spares? What did the turboII come with spare wheel wise?

Thanks

They look just like the FC spare..

3rd gen RX-7s came with yellow aluminum spares that look like the RX-8 one, but I don't know if they are identical. Spokes are hollow in the back and are radius-ed where they meet the center.

2nd gen (4 and 5 lug) RX-7s came with silver aluminum spares that look similar, but the skinnier spokes are solid in back and the spokes meet the center with square cut-outs.

Google "RX-7 spare tire" and you can see both.
