EMPI white spare wheel cover for the VW Combi Split from 1950 to 07/1967.

A spare wheel cover is a car accessory designed to cover a vehicle’s spare wheel. This accessory serves several purposes:

Aesthetics: The spare wheel cover is mainly used for aesthetic reasons. It conceals a spare wheel that may be considered unsightly, particularly when visible at the front or rear of a vehicle.

Protection: It protects the spare wheel from the elements (dust, dirt, water, etc.), which can extend the lifespan of the wheel and its components, such as the tyre and valve.

Preservation: A wheel cover helps to minimise potential damage to the spare wheel by protecting it from weather conditions and UV rays, which can degrade the tyre material over time.

Maintenance: By protecting the spare wheel, it helps to keep it clean, making it easier to use when needed. A well-maintained and clean wheel is easier to handle when changing a tyre.

Security: A spare wheel cover can also be used to conceal the spare wheel for security reasons, thereby preventing it from becoming a target for thieves who might seek to steal it.

In summary, a spare wheel cover combines aesthetic and practical benefits, protecting and enhancing the appearance of your vehicle whilst contributing to the longevity and functionality of the spare wheel.

Suitable for 15-inch wheels with original tyre size.
