ABSTRACT:
Inserts that are configured to be placed in gaps provide between wheel covers and underlying wheel of wheel assemblies. The inserts are made from materials that are suitable rigid and strong so as to reinforce and protect the overlying portions of the wheel cover from impact damage such as denting in the case of metal wheel covers and cracking or breaking in the case of plastic wheel covers. The inserts further prevent otherwise hollow portions of the wheel assembly from sounding, feeling or seeming hollow.
