Need a new spare, running into some trouble, Austin TX

I woke up a couple of days ago to find my spare missing. I'm sure I left it
back there, can't imagine where it might have gone ....

Anyway, I've scoured the local tire shops and they direct me to the
local junkyards and the most helpful of the junkyards so far have told
me "I don't think you're going to find a used wheel for that in all of
Texas."

I've got the stock 17" alloys but I think all I want is a cheap steel
wheel with a used tire; enough to get me a hundred miles or so down
the road after a flat.

How rare are these things? I've read through the sizing threads so
I've got the numbers. But is there another Toyota that uses suitable
wheels so I can ask the junkyard people for, say, "a tundra wheel"
because most of them just look at this thing and shake their heads
and the big places with their computerized inventories come up blank
when they type in "2007 FJ"

Alternatively, any of you nearby Austin and feel like selling a wheel
sometime before I take off heading back west on Sunday?

Thanks!

Kevin,
I have 5 OEM aluminum wheels with the OEM Bridgestone tires. The tires have about 75% tread remaining (have put about 14K miles on them before removing). I'll sell you a tire/wheel combo for $100. I'm located about 40 miles north of Austin.

Sounds great! I can get up there easily. That funky-looking email address
in my profile actually works. Send me an email and we can work out the details.
Thanks!
