ABSTRACT:
A multiple part wheel cover comprises a retainer plate, separate axially inner and outer one-piece spoke assemblies, having spokes extending to outer free-standing ends and a hub cover. The retainer plate and inner and outer spoke assemblies are supported coaxially in predetermined axial spacing. Bending force is applied to the spokes to bend them resiliently within elastic limits sufficiently to align their radially outer ends respectively with recesses in the rim. Thereafter the bending force is progressively relaxed and the supported parts are simultaneously and progressively moved coaxially toward each other to cause the outer ends of the spokes to enter their recesses as the spokes straighten resiliently. The parts are then secured together by clamping the hub cover toward the hub of the retainer plate, whereupon removal of the outer ends of the spokes from their recesses is prevented.
