Same here. Let me know if you find one. I talked to an owner who purchased a Taurus donut wheel and then bought/found a tire that would fit. Apparently the Taurus wheel is the same lug spacing as the MINIs. I don't know the size.

I found a Chevy Cobolt donut spare (never used) on Ebay and bought it. It will fit the Mini (same lug spacing I am told - 4x100mm). It came from a wreck and the salvage company was selling off the parts as they normally do. Check Ebay. I also hear the Mazda Miata tire will fit.

I bought the donut wheel from MINI but went to my local Ford dealer and
bought a brand new mounted donut tire that they were going to throw
away for $30.00. When I went to the tire shop to have it taken off the
Ford rim and put on the MINI rim the guy who changed it bought the Ford
rim from me for $10.00. End result the new tire cost me $20.00
