ABSTRACT:
A dress wheel simulator for a truck or recreational vehicle wheel includes a stainless steel shell adapted to cover the outer face of the wheel from the wheel rim to a central wheel hub area. The simulator shell includes an enlarged opening in its wheel hub area with the opening being sufficiently large so as to permit the shell to pass axially over a majority of the wheel lugs with the lug nuts attached. A simulator hub cover having a radial flange with a plurality of lug nut openings and a pair of diametrically opposed lug openings is also provided. To mount the simulator, a pair of opposed lug nuts are removed, the shell is positioned against the wheel, the lug nut openings of the hub cover are registered with the lugs having their nuts removed and the lug nut openings are registered with the remaining lugs and the hub cover is passed axially over the lugs and lug nuts and against the shell. Thereafter, the lug nuts are reapplied and tightened to secure the simulator.
