The parts dept. at my dealership tells me I need a plain steel 17" rim and a tire for about $800. Doesn't sound right. If I'm not mistaken the T-tire is a mini tire that fits in the spare tire well in the trunk.

Does anyone near Oakville Ontario have one for sale? My eMail is walt3@wblady.com. Appreciate any tips

No idea. Honestly, OP, I would go back to the dealer and tell them they don't know what the hell they are talking about. The sport spare is actually a very nice tire that I would expect to have been included. Talk to a manager about why the parts dept instructed you to purchase an incorrect tire size that won't fit over the sport package calipers...
