ABSTRACT:
A cast vehicle wheel includes a series of circumferentially spaced radially extending reinforcement ribs. A number of adjacent pairs of ribs are provided with ramps which slope axially and radially opposite to each other, with one such ramp including a retention notch. The cover includes a number of radially flexible box members including a base wall slidably engageable with one of the ramps and a retention lip slidably engageable with the other ramp and interlockingly engageable with the retention notch. The box member is twisted until the retention lip slides past the other ramp and into engagement with the retention notch.
