In terms of fitting and leaving them on the car?
If it isn't a space saver, and as long as the nuts are done up tight, can you do 70mph etc? As I know space savers are limited to about 50mph.
Only reason I ask is there are some spare 13" Softstars on eBay, would be good to get one in my spare wheel well they are also in better condition that 2 of mine!

i had a spare on my nova for about a week when my tyre went bang. went to bradford and back doing 70 odd on the motorway - was fine. just be careful on corners etc.

No, but all I mean, if the spare is the same as what's on the rest of the car, then it doesn't matter?!

if the spare is identical i.e. same wheel and tire size to the wheels on the car, then you can drive the car as before... (pretty obvious really)

as long as its not bald 
if its the same as all the other wheels then there wont be any problem. just like having a set of 5 isnt it

It is 2 alloys.
Looking in pretty mint condition. So they will replace my 2 kerbed alloys, the least kerbed wheel as my spare, then 1 spare in the garage.
