[DeTomaso] Spare tire question

[Christopher Kimball]

That must mean my spare is not the original.  Is there any serial number or something on the rim I can check to make absolutely sure?

Although I'm pretty sure the neat little vinyl cover with the DeTomaso logo on it isn't stock, how do I tell if the spare tire itself is the genuine article?  It's far too big, even in it's pre-enlarged state to fit in the small, circular shape in the back trunk (in fact, I don't think any spare tire would fit there, unless it was for a Tonka truck).  Or, is that space in the trunk really for a tiny spare?
