The inventive technology described herein may be present in many different embodiments that include systems and methods for adjustably protecting a spare tire with a rearward-facing camera. In some embodiments, a spare tire protective system may utilize a hollow base, a camera collar, a retaining element such as a faceplate, and a tire cover to easily adjust to varying spare tire sizes and wheel offsets for vehicles that may be equipped with a center or near center-mounted rearview camera. A hollow base and camera collar may slide over a rearview camera stock and partially seat into a wheel center bore. A tire cover may be sandwiched between the hollow base and faceplate. This system may provide improved ease of installation and removal for vehicle models with varying wheel and tire offsets and sizes.

Packaging for a wheel 10 is provided that has a cylindrical rim 11 and first and second cylindrical flanges 12, 13 extending from opposite axial ends of the rim 11. The packaging comprising first and second sleeves 22, 44 in which the first sleeve 22 extends about the rim 11 and bears against a facing surface of the first flange 12 and the second sleeve 44 extends about the rim 11 and extends through the first sleeve 22, extending past the first flange 12 to form a support surface 66 spaced from the first flange 12. A method of packaging a wheel and a bulk package for shipping is also provided.

A container for dispensing adhesive tape can include a first lid and a second lid, wherein the first lid comprises a first central connector and the second lid can include a second central connector that includes a threaded portion that can be configured to engage with the first central connector to maintain and protect a roll of adhesive tape when the second central connector is connected to the first central connector by the threaded portion when the first lid and the second led are engaged with one another in a closed position and a central circular gap within the roll of adhesive tape surrounds the first central connector and the second central connector within the container.
