Default Spare tire wheel

Hey guys,
I haven't ever (actually noone has) had my spare tire out of my '76. Obviously, after all these years it's probably not suitable for use.

I've been considering getting an extra couple wheels for drag radials, and it occurred to me that the wheel that the spare is on might be a standard "rally" steel wheel. The car is in storage for the winter so I can't just go out and look at it. What kind of wheel was supplied as the spare in 1976?

It has steel rally's if it matters.

Standard rally. Later in the C3 they switched to a smaller spare, but '76 was still standard size.
