Gauging interest in OEM-style spare tire covers for CST K5s
 
A member was kind enough to send me an original spare tire cover from a CST blazer. Another member who is an upholsterer now has this and has ordered matching black vinyl with the felt-like lining. The OEM examples are too small to accommodate larger tires.

I'm told these can be made to accommodate a variety of tire sizes. Personally, I'd like to have two made that fit 33" x 10.5" tires. Is anyone else interested in having one of these spare tire covers made? I don't have an estimated price yet.

I'd be interested also and think my 71 Jimmy sits on 31s.

I'd be interested in one that fits a stock tire size. Are there color options?

Thanks guys. I'll post back with more details when I get them. At the moment the plan is to make stock appearing covers in black vinyl. Embroidering is possible.

Old school "GMC" lettering availability would be very cool and worth a premium.

Lay them in the sun for 20 minutes and the box wrinkles will go away . rear tire covers can be made also with elastic sewn in to keep them tight and secure .

These look great. I need to get a tire measurement and will be in contact with GOM. Is adding a GMC logo a possibility?

Adding the GMC logo is no problem , i just need the actual height and width of your spare also size and placement of where you would want the logo / center upper 1/3 - center -center of spare etc , colors are available :chevy:

The URL opens to a dark color, almost black. Looking at the the other options on the website, Metallic Medium Blue appears to be very close to the original color. Is this available?

Everything listed at their website is available some are currently out of stock like the one you picked but there are other commercial vendors who may have it in stock , few materials would have the "flocked" backing other than the landau top materials .:chevy:

There are thousands of blue samples made by different manufactures . :chevy:

Thank you for the numbers. Say, I'm up in Canada, may ask you to send to my brother in Cape Cod - is the price for domestic shipments?
