ABSTRACT:
A dust cover for placement between a vehicle wheel and a vehicle hub includes an outer perimeter, a central protrusion defining an opening for receiving a spindle of the vehicle hub and a plurality of lug openings, and a concave intermediate portion extending radially between the central protrusion and the perimeter. The intermediate portion has an outboard side surface configured to engage inboard sides of wheel spokes when the dust cover is mounted between the wheel and the hub of the vehicle. Fins are preferably defined on an inboard side surface of the intermediate portion. At least part of the outboard side surface is colored to provide a desired appearance between the wheel spokes at an outboard side of the wheel.
