Regarding this spare wheel and tire issue... I really would like to 
get a OEM chrome rim that's new because I'd like the guarantee and 
warranty that'll come with a brand new rim. The one that I'd have to 
find at a junk yard (if I could even find one at all) could be all 
scratched up, out-of-round, chipped or who knows what else. And I just 
don't have the time to search all over for one. Furthermore, it seems 
that Chrysler made two 16" chrome rims each for both '03 and '04 
models that were almost identical except on one style of rim it 
features two 'dimples' in between each of the five spokes, whereas 
mine have none. Also, I'm all about convenience and appearance. Having 
an identical rim/tire on hand when/if I do encounter tire trouble will 
allow me to take the damaged tire in when it's more convenient. And, 
of course, once the spare has been installed, the appearance of the 
car has not been compromised. I tend to agree-- those little donut 
tires do look a bit 'dorky' and really detract from the appearance of 
any car they're on. They are, indeed, very practical and very 
utilitarian... but very, very ugly. And I guess I'll check the air in 
that full size spare from time to time to ensure it's always ready.
