ABSTRACT:
The simulated wire wheel cover comprises a rim portion which has retention devices attached thereto for attachment to the wheel of a vehicle. The rim portion has a plurality of holes therethrough to receive ends of at least one series of nested substantially V-shaped members. The ends of the V-shaped members are provided with upset portions to limit the travel of the members through the holes of the rim portion. The wheel cover has a body portion radially inward of the rim portion and is provided with at least one circular camming surface in the region of the apex of each of the substantially V-shaped members which bear upon the camming surface. Clamping members are attached to the body portion to capture and force each of the V-shaped members against the camming surface to drive each of them toward the rim portion whereupon each of the upset portions are in intimate contact with the rim portion to lock each of the V-shaped members in place.
