Default Size of spare tire on 20" equipped tundras

Can anyone tell me if the tundras that come with 20 inch alloy wheels actually use a 20 inch steel rim, or is it an identical alloy wheel that already is on the truck? I have 18 inch alloys and a same sized steel spare. The reduced weight of a steel rim makes me tempted to switch over and having the option of a 20 inch steel wheel would be very cool, but I'd be concerned of the additional flex and if it actually was a lighter wheel for sure. Steel rims are usually lighter than same sized alloys on smaller sizes. Any input or thoughts?

Mine came with 20" LTI alloys all the way around. I've already had a flat so used the spare. It is an 18" black steel wheel. Looks aweful when installed.
I might add that from my experience the alloy rims are actually lighter than a steel wheel. That is why they initially became so popular.

Its just a simple black steel wheel. My 05 4runner had matching rim, which was cool. I damaged one rim, and made that one my spare.
