I have seen people put a vinyl slip on one over the tire then put the stainless trim ring over it to dress it up. They are only 20-50 bucks and come with team logos, characters, etc.

The dent on your trim ring does not look bad, anyone who does metal work should be able to bang most of it out.

I had a black Harley Davidson vinyl one with the chrome ring over top. Just pull it tight or it looks like crap.
worked great!

I used to have the metal trim ring. When I actually needed to utilize the spare tire, I found the trim ring to be a Pita. Nowhere to put it as it did not want to fit over a full size tire.

I eventually got rid of it. I kept the round face and use that, held on with a thin rope in the tire channels.

I recently bought a Bestop canvas/denim/ cover off amazon for about 15$, but it fits like granny panties on a supermodel.

Thats why i like the black vinyl ones, they fit well over a 235/75/15 and once they warm up in the sun they unwrinkle and look very smooth.
