After defining simultaneous spherical symmetry for two metrics, the technique of equation splitting is used to produce exact spherically symmetric solutions within the class of two-metric gravity theories introduced in an earlier paper. The nontrivial solutions are found to select the exceptional case, distinguished in previous work. The solutions in this case, however, possess a ''gauge freedom'' which apparently leaves the physics ambiguously defined. Nevertheless, we use the gauge freedom to simplify and proceed to local solutions, where $sup 1$g/sub center-dot//sub center-dot/ is an empty closed space of positive constant curvature and $sup 0$g/sub center-dot//sub center-dot/ is a Schwarzschild solution with a mass. The empty closed space is found to be contained within the Schwarzschild radius.
