ABSTRACT:
A rallye wheel hub cab retaining device is provided for securing the hub cap to the vehicle's wheel lug, whereby deterring theft of the hub cap. A fixed length of cable is secured to the hub cap on one end by means of four stud terminals, each secured to the existing bolts of the cap. The opposite end, fitted with a loop and "S" hook, is bolted to the wheel lug, and held fast by the wheel lug nut. The relatively simple device secures the hub cap to the wheel, yet still allows enough slack to gain access to the wheel nuts. The device is short enough to safely allow the cap to rotate with the wheel, without striking the vehicle's fender well, should the cap come loose from the rim.
