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.
