Call some of the junkyards in your area. Any one of them should have plenty of donut tires

might be a good idea to get a 14 or 15" steelie with a decent tire. Donuts arent reliable enough if youre in the middle of nowhere. Just a suggestion.

FYI - Acura Vigors and old Acura Legends 86-90 use the same sized rims/donuts as 90+ 4-lug accords...

This is were I sourced a full-sized spare for a friend...nobody thinks to look at those cars...
