ABSTRACT:
An improved construction and method of assembly for forming a simulated wire wheel trim is disclosed herein which employs axially inner and outer spoke retainer plate members which are secured together subsequent to assembly of spoke members thereto and operate to securely clamp the spoke members therebetween. The axially outer spoke retainer plate member is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings which are designed to loosely receive the radially inner ends of the spoke members before the radially outer ends thereof have been inserted in the openings provided in the outer ring assembly. Once the radially outer ends of the spoke members have been inserted and appropriately spaced openings provided in the outer ring assembly, the axially inner spoke retainer plate is assembled to the axially outer spoke retainer plates and operates to exert a generally axially and radially outwardly biasing action on the radially inner ends of the spoke members so as to secure them in position within the openings provided in the outer ring member as well as to exert a clamping action thereon so as to prevent any noise generating rattle thereof.
