Buying a spare wheel for a Fiesta

I have just purchased a Ford Fiesta and as you are probably aware you don't get a spare wheel. The tyres on it now are 195/50 R16 and was wondering what size spare I should buy?

Obviously a right size spare would be best, or you could buy virtually any Ford Fiesta wheel and tyre from 14-inch with 175/65 R14 tyres upwards to use very strictly as an emergency spare. Your local scrappie is the best source.
