Re: Rear wheel cover

I was caught once with a spare that had hardly ever been used and eventually couldn't be used, as the other tyres had changed that much over a 5 year period.

Well considering the other 4 tyres from that set had done 85,000 KMs over 8 years I haven't done too badly from them.

Back to the original topic though I'm still struggling to undertand what benefit a partial rear wheel cover would have. Apart from the anti-theft features (which can be acheived with lock nuts) there doesn't seem much point to them.

PS: To the OP, I had a look on eBay and spotted a number of 120 series compatible wheel covers, including the partial one below with built in tail/brake lights for $99:-

Just search on "Toyota Prado Wheel Cover" to find the rest.
