Or, maybe it should be characterized as more like the "ACME" brand so favored by Wiley Coyote!
Same brand Wile E. Coyote used. [emoji6]

I checked on Amazon Canada, and it's available, so it'd be interesting to see how it/they look on your 15.
Here it is...

I have single-handedly contributed substantially to Mr. Bezos' vast fortune by ordering all sorts of trailer gadgets and gizmos and whatnot from Amazon.

Thanks, Jim, for the correction. I couldn't check; we live in an area where the past is being erased.

Thanks for the info! Pics look great as well. If you don't mind me asking how wide are your rims and what is the offset?
Thanks,
Ryan

For those with gel coat rash or damage like wheel wells or front box a product they could apply is Kiwi Grip. This product was designed in New Zealand by Benjamin Moore for non skid or race sailboat decks where it gets huge abuse and exposed to severe elements. I used it on a tired deck and boat cockpit and looked like it came from factory. Covers bruises, it's user friendly and can be applied smoother with experimenting with less nap rollers. It sticks on gelcoat, seals, easily touched up and has a slight rubberized surface to take impact.

Looks like a great idea. How difficult was the material to work with/install? Does it have a specific name? Where did you get it - on-line or any auto parts store? Thanks for your help.

Dstreight thanks for tire and wheel info!
Im considering replacing OEM tires with that size LT tire when the OEMs wear down/dry rot
