IMO, the temporary mobility kit is just that, 'Temporary'. Get the wheel to a repairer and get it fixed/replaced. The only issue you will have is if you get a full on blowout(ie tyre blows out the side and tread rips off worst case scenario) at which point a spare would be far more useful. Look into getting a space save spare, as a full alloy/wheel will take up most of your boot. I know one of the guys on fordxr5turbo.com who bought an RS has just bought an XR5 set of spare and jack and all that...it raises the boot up a little, but better that than being stuck 400km from home middle of nowhere and the 'temporary mobility kit' being useless to you.
that's how I would look at it anyway.
