Exclamation OEM look replacement Tire Cover - no recent threads- Dings in my nightmares

New member here and very surprised to see few threads on replacement tire covers.

I purchased a black 2015 G550 w/ 19k miles at the beginning of the year. It is an remains in great condition, however, the valet parking in my building/street in NYC has already dinged my tire cover (ring is fine). The rest of the car looks great but the tire cover dings ruin the aesthetic. I will purchase an OEM replacement when I move it outside of the city eventually, but for now, I am sure that a replacement would get dinged in no time and would like to go with a cheaper replacement.

Have any members purchased an OEM look aftermarket cover that they recommend? I have seen a few on ebay coming out of Russia / China.

If familiar with the carbon fiber, my car is glossy black, does the carbon fiber weave look cheesy/super noticeable?

Any other recommendations? Or if you have one that you are willing to part with, please reach out.

Many thanks in advance.

*I'm also starting another thread on paintless dent repair, if you have any advice on that front.

Boomerang (www.boomco.com) makes covers in PVC (plastic) in black and colors. Sounds as if you need to buy several and consider them consumable.

How bad are the dings? You may want to get a replacement cover and then have some PFF thrown on it. You can just replace the PPF instead.

I got one from Boomco to replace the OE one as I upsized tires and my spare, and the OE ring didn't fit anymore. Relatively inexpensive and I like the look better than the chrome ring + painted cover. This one is plastic on the face and vinyl around the tire. Install is a breeze and probably drops the weight by ~20lbs compared to using the OE cover (net total weight is 0 as the upsized tire is heavier than OE.
