I'm glad someone else is **** about a matching spare. I have had the 5th rim for the longest time but a different brand tire and that even bugged me. I finally got an entire matching 5 set. I'm in the workings of making a swing out for my 4runner. I think its gonna be a little more difficult than the blazer was

Yeah the mismatched wheel is going to drive me insane till I get it remedied. I may just buy the cover diata posted to get me by for now. My spare tire doesn't match either which had always bugged me but I'm going to get 32s for my next set so I guess it'll just have to wait till then to stop being the red headed step child of the bunch lol

My spare tire and wheel matches the rest, but I covered it up(extra **** I guess), mostly so thieving bastards don't swipe it.

My spare is just a steelie with a different tire too, and I still used a keyed lug nut on it. There's been several people who had their spares stolen off their jeeps in daylight in the parking lot here at work.

Rex, it looks good! Agree with the mismatch though. You could try painting the rim black until you get a matching spare. It would be a lot less noticeable that way.
