Several years ago I had to redo the interior of my wife's Camaro. The NOS plastic parts I could find were not the right color. I found out they make paints/dyes for all sorts of materials like plastic, rubber, vinyl, etc. I'd start checking with your automotive paint supply store until you find a satisfactory vinyl dye. It may be as cheap to have an upholstery shop make you one rather than buy one then dye it. Good luck

Bienvenido!
There was a black one on my '20 coupe when I bought it......I threw it away.
You may have to search tire covers for other makes of cars to find a white one.......

If your 1925 has the 21" split rim demountable tires, you can use Model A tire covers, many of the part suppliers has those in white vinyl.

Only minor downside is these have the silkscreened oval Ford logo used on the Model A. But some acetone can remove that :-)

If all else fails, they're not expensive to make. I had a spare tire cover made at a place that normally does custom boat covers. It was a small job for them and, while I don't remember the price, it wasn't too expensive. Probably a a bit more then Snyders, but you'll get exactly what you want in whatever color you want. Mine was a cover that covered about half the tire. I was copying an original from the '20's that had "Coolidge - Dawes" stenciled on it.
