Wheel cover for a Boost alloy with 265/75/16 tyre
Does anybody know where I can buy a wheel cover for a Boost or any other Land Rover alloy wheel fitted with a 265/75/16 tyre?

I've got a Defender 110 TD5 truck cab and I'd like a plain black pvc/plastic cover for the rear bulkhead mounted spare wheel.
I've got one for a 235/85/16 wheel and tyre but it's not big enough for a 265/75/16.

I've Googled the subject and looked endlessly on Ebay but with no result.

Any ideas everbody?

Thank you.

Soft are easier to get than hard, the latter typically is only in small sizes only.
I’ve got a soft one for 255/85R16.

Are you interested in one type only? Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Thank you for replying - I'd prefer the soft pvc/plastic type.

Can I ask you where you bought it from?

This is where mine came from:
http://wheelcover.com/public_html/index1.html
Email and they are friendly and helpful, I used to have a 235/85 rigid gloss with graphics on but they are only pretty much in 235/85 and smaller.
Now I have the 255/85 I have a soft pvc type, which is just pain black.
I can vouch for the quality! Very good a lovely fit.

I spent hours trying to find a solution last year, and it was this company which was my solution. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I bought a soft cover for my 255/85x16 KM2 from http://www.4x4wheelcover.com

I've been very pleased with it.

Having struggled to find one that fitted properly I ended up buying via Ebay from China and it was a great success.
First time I bought one that had a Land Rover logo on it but after a while I decided I didn't like that and went for a plain one. Both arrived VERY quickly, were cheap (i.e. under £10 inc P&P) and were of excellent quality.
At the end of the day, if you ended up being disappointed you have your satisfaction guarantee to fall back on. ONE LIFE, GET IT!

You can order what size you want from escape gear in South Africa and they are canvas so much more hard wearing than vinyl. The covers are reasonably priced but the down side is that shipping is quite expensive and they take a good few weeks to come. Ray
