Wheel Covers for storage - IE with a truck cover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found these at Harbor Freight $8.00 for a set of 4.
I found that my truck cover leaves just the very bottom of my wheel uncovered.
This leads to dirt, dust settling onto just a small portion of the wheel
These have a metal hoop that is about 75% around the diamter of the tire.
It slides right over wheel tire and should do a good job of keeping everything clean

That's funny they call them wheelcovers. I guess people have already forgotten what those are. These are tire covers. See? They cover your tires,not just the wheel
