Default Wheel Covers?

It's time for a new car cover as mine is 12 years old and has tire dressing all over the inside of it and then gets on the car when I take it off. I don't want to put a new one on unless I can find something to put over the tires and prevent the new cover from getting the same treatment. I've seen wheel covers for campers but never for a car. Anyone know where I can get decent set, hopefully in black? Thanks.

No, it's in a garage. I actually found Summit has some but in white.

Been searching....there called Tyre Gards. Only place I can find them is at RV type stores and they don't give a maximum tire width, only diameter. There about $60 set of 4 vinyl covers with a internal bungee cord. A little overkill for what I need but I can't find anything else in black. I'm thinking maybe just use some black heafty garbage bags.

Yeah, they sell canvas "wheel maskers" painters use for $20 set of 4. I'll give that a try even though their white.....can always part the bottom part. But for $20 it's worth a try not to ruin a $300 car cover.

The canvas covers I got work great for anyone looking for something similar. There is a flexible rod inside the canvas that hugs the tires so it won't fall off. The fabric goes almost all the way to the floor. I got them from Summit.
