Would spare wheel rims be strong enough for regualr use? The tire definately is not but how about teh wheel itself?

Is the spare in fact even 16"? Often in cars performance models the spare is 15" and will only fit the rear wheel. If you get a flat front tire you:

-take the spare and use it to replace a rear wheel
-take the rear wheel and use it to replace the flat front

I just can't believe there aren't thousands of 16" OEM Alloy Focus wheel sitting on shelves or in a field somewhere. Even if you pay $100 each and add Canadian Tire Ice or Nordic Trac tires you should be OK for about $800 total?
