I've seen 99+ Trackers with that cover in the US but no Zuki's.  May be try give Hawk a call and see if they have it or can get it.

They are standard in Europe. Mine has got the same. Maybe your Suzuki dealer can get it for you ::).

Oooh, I like that.  How's it mount to the tire?

Been wondering what to do since we put the bigger tires on.  The vinyl cover won't fit by a long shot.

It's fixed by one bolt. What you see from the outside is something like a lock, you have toput the key in to remove that part. Under that there is a bolt, which holds the wheel as well. As the hole is not in the middle, the cover is always the right way up, as the cover has a lip that fits inside the rim (hope this made sense). Then you can remove the cover and you have 2 remaining bolts holding the wheel.
I can take pics tomorrow ;)

This is how it looks:

This is what remains when the wheel is removed. Ithought the bolt holding the cover hold the wheel too, but they are separate. The cover needs this black bracket:

These are the parts. The cover is part number 728G-65D, or at least that is what it says on the back. There is the bolt holding the cover and the theft lock thing:

He's mentioned before it has 16's.  I don't think Suzuki used anything smaller than 16's on GV's and XL7's anywhere.
