Spare Tire Cover by Damien Hirst
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Art

If you're enamored of the idea of an art car, but can't quite extend yourself to the likes of those priceless BMWs and McLarens, Damien Hirst may have the happy median you're looking for. The contemporary British artist has applied his world-renowned talents to a spare tire cover that can be mounted to your luxury sport-utility vehicle.
The "spin" design you see here is applied to the composite dish, mounted to a stainless steel band to cover the spare tire on the back of an SUV. The item is available for £900 ($1,390 USD), which may seem like a lot for a tire cover, but it's a far cry from the $527,000 which Hirst's hand-painted Audi A1 sold for at auction recently.
