Tirerack has OZ wheels for cheap sometimes with odd colors closeout. Usually like now they are $750-$800 but they have been $500 each. The big issue is with LWB, getting it in the back seat area (and more importantly out of the back seat area if you have a flat) is not possible without removing the seat.

In my area, I was able to spec a compact spare tyre with my 991.2 GT3, it comes with the special centerlock tool and some kind of a styrofoam adapter / seat, which i didn't find practical upon delivery of the car. I found it difficult to fit inside the car (there must be a way). For sure it doesn't fit in the trunk and probably will have to go behind the front seats (I don't have the cage).
I can try to dig the option / part number if needed
