I found it on ebay. Looks to be custom made and I haven't seen any other like it. I bought it to give the spare tire look without having all the weight of a solid aluminum wheel so high up. I may even use a piece of foam in the shape of a wheel to reduce weight even more. The wheels I'm waiting on now weigh about 4 ounces each. By keeping all the weight as low as possible I'm hoping it will help with rollovers.

My wife wanted me to paint it red and black like the jeep on the box so that's what I plan to do with the one I ordered for her. I will post pics of it after Christmas.

My girlfriend will be making a couple of spare tire covers very soon. I will post pics on my Jeep thread when I receive the covers. Probably in the new year.
