Question 1LE spare tire question

Is it true that the Camaro 1LE option came with a lightweight aluminum spare wheel/tire?

Its along the lines of a donut type. I'll see if I get a chance to snap a pic and look at the size.

Re: 1LE spare tire question

I thought it might be a natural aluminum color.

That is the Correct 1Le Aluminum spare RPO N64. Some later models did come with a solid black painted aluminum ones that looked like the standard spare. But the the spacesaver one with the air can was the 16"
wheel spare.

That's the same one in my Nephew's '89 IROC. His is not a 1LE.
