Spare Steel Wheel

Hello, I don't know how many here live in NYC Area, but let me say that roads here in NYC are horrible HORRIBLE! I wasted 4 sets of wheels already, pricing range from $83 to $226 each wheel. I bought new tires at TireRack and at 60mph speed I can feel a vibration in my steering wheel.

I thought the shop did not balance it well, I went back and they told me that my wheels are not perfectly round. I QUIT Man! I am thinking of buying three same size 16" x 7" steel wheel tires just for Winter Season. I just check my spare wheel/tire and it is a full size 205/55/16. Will this work? Where Can I buy the lugs for these, because there are a different sets of lugs for the spare.
