ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to decorative wheel covers with resilient fastening clips retained between spaced flanges on the inner periphery of the cover for fastening the cover to the outer surface of the wheel. The clip is made from a strap of spring material having a U-shaped body portion which forms an anchor between the flanges and an arm portion reversely bent and extending thereover for engaging the inner diverging flange of the wheel. The body portion and the arm portion have sharp tangs which are forced into the material of the flanges of the cover and wheel to have the plurality of the clips firmly support the cover outwardly over the wheel surface.
