I'm wondering:

If I were the wheel supplier for the spare wheel, and knowing that the wheel doesn't have to go 200K miles - more like 2K - I'd make the wheel out of thinner gauge stock.

I tried to measure the thickness of my wheels, but could not get my calipers in the holes. Does anyone have a micrometer - and a vehicle with both a steel spare wheel and steel street wheels? How's 'bout someone measure that?
