ABSTRACT:
A decorative capped wheel nut for holding a wheel on a motor vehicle where the capped wheel nut is exposed to view and to the environment. The nut has first and second ends, the first end to engage the wheel of the automobile, and a circumferential edge intermediate the first and second ends. The cap includes a side section to cover the sides of the nut insert and a top section, joined to the side section, to cover the second end of the nut insert. The opposite end of the side section terminates in a free edge, flare or flange which contacts the circumferential edge of the nut insert. The cap and nut insert are welded together at the contact between the circumferential edge of the nut insert and the free edge of the cap.
