I’d raise an invoice for the wheel cover and send the cover and the invoice to him, recorded delivery, stating that unless payment is recieved by return you will start recovery proceedings through the small claims court.
They will look at the evidence:
You had no reason to buy it in.
He ordered the cover.
You bought it because he placed a verbal contract with you to obtain it.
