Also, just a note: if you paint the spare with por 15, don't paint the center hole that goes around the hub. I recently had to use my spare (I painted it with por 15 about a year prior) and it went on fine. When I went to take it off one day later, it was completely welded to the hub haha. I hit it with sledgehammers for over two hours. The spare must have a very tight tolerance. That was no fun.
