Staggered wheels... two spare wheels or donut?

I just upgraded my wheels to a staggered setup a few months ago. My spare wheel in the trunk was a matching stock wheel for my car. I drive an X so the spare wheel was the same exact wheel as the other four stock wheels. I cleaned out the trunk and spare wheel area as it was retaining water so it is currently empty.

Here are some questions I have: For spare wheel(s) what do you guys with staggered setups do about it? Do you buy two wheels, one for each offset/width combination, or just buy one donut? If I bought two wheels should I just stuff one in the spare space of the trunk, and the second in the trunk? Should I put one in the spare space and one on a roof cage? Where do I buy a donut wheel that can match my wheel diameter (with tire)?

Considering its just something to get you home or to the shop, there's no reason to buy two. My car came staggered and it only has one spare. That thing would only be on for 20 mins to get me to the tire shop, so I don't think it really matters. Not gonna hurt anything on that short drive.

If you plan on keeping it on and tracking the car with a spare tho, that's a different story. Haha
