Spare tire cover
Where can I find a metal spare tire cover for 19" rim on the rear. I'm looking for a friend. Thank you.

Re: Spare tire cover
There was one on my car when I bought it.
The center ring was painted to match my body color and the outer ring was black to match the fenders it was very classy looking. After almost breaking my fingers a few times and a lot of bad words I took it off put it in the barn never to be used again..My tires are 4.75/5.00-19 I'm not sure if someone purchased the wrong one or where it came from but it was so aggravating it was unusable. Maybe someone else can chime in and shed some light if they're all that way or if I just have a poor setup |

Re: Spare tire cover
I bought this tire cover from A&L, It has the stainless ring on the tire. They say it fits better on Good Year brand tires, as they are not as 'fat', and are more accurate in size to what the cars originally had. My sedan has Firestone tires, and I have to have low pressure in the tire, or the cover won't fit. I like the looks of the cover, and keep a modern bicycle tire pump in the car, should I have a flat. I painted the face plate black, and got some enamel to match the stripe on the car for the lettering, which I did myself. My uncle and I restored the car in the 70's, and it is his initials that are on the bottom. I learned a lot from uncle Roger!

Re: Spare tire cover
You could try to find the "glitzy" Canadian version of the all chrome Lyon Cover.

Maybe it was the brand of tire but I never could get a fully inflated one in or out of the fender well on my pickup. I always had to deflate it a few pounds - fortunately I never had to use the spare. |
