ABSTRACT:
A dress wheel simulator for a utility vehicle wheel includes a shell having a central hub ring with a plurality of keyhole openings formed in the hub ring. The keyhole openings are registered with wheel lug nuts and are dimensioned so as to permit the shell to pass axially over the wheel lug nuts and be positioned against either the wheel or a wheel mounting compression plate. Each keyhole opening includes a reduced dimension throat and when the shell is rotated relative to the wheel, a tapered neck portion of each wheel lug nut is engaged by the throat. A hub cover having a corresponding number of registered lug nut openings is then positioned over the hub ring with the lug nuts projecting through the hub cover lug nut openings. The clearance between the hub cover lug nut openings and the lug nuts is such that rotation of the hub cover relative to the wheel is precluded. Thereafter, the hub cover is fastened to the shell by a plurality of screws.
