ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover assembly for attachment to a vehicle wheel including a rim and a rim center includes a cover plate and securement mechanisms for securing the cover plate over the wheel rim. The cover plate includes opposite inner and outer faces, and the outer face bears indicia which may personalize the vehicle with which the cover assembly is utilized. In addition, the cover plate is positionable adjacent the rim of a vehicle wheel so that when the plate is positioned adjacent the rim, the inner face of the plate faces the rim. The securement mechanisms include tension members which are connectable to the vehicle wheel rim and which span at least a fraction of the rim when connected thereto. Moreover, the tension members have legs whose lengths are adjustable to accommodate the attachment of the securement means to wheel rims at locations thereon wherein the distance that the attachment locations of one of such wheel rims is spaced from its corresponding rim center is different from the distance that the attachment locations of the other of such wheel rims is spaced from its corresponding wheel center.
