It's a luxury vehicle with a rim that would be very hard to find - and impossible on a Sunday. I don't mind driving slow on the interstate and taking longer to get home - it's more an issue of being a road hazard/accident risk driving that slow for that long on the interstate

You should be able to fit a cheap steel rim on your vehicle. Buy the steelie and buy the "luxury" rim when you get home.

The faster you drive, the less amount of time for air to leak out. You should be fine at 100 mph. Check the pressure when you reach your destination.

What "luxury" dealer wouldn't have a shop in Dallas that's open today?

You'll have to replace the wheel when you get home anyway. Why wouldn't you have waited until this morning and not have to worry about riding the donut without a reliable spare?

ETA I'm pretty sure Dallas even has a Lamborghini dealer.
