ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a simulated wire wheel cover for use on vehicle wheels which provides four depths of spokes by the use of only two sets of spoke clusters. The first set of spoke clusters overlap side to side at their radially inner ends, each spoke cluster in the first set comprising two simulated spokes attached at their radially outer ends to a decorative base portion secured to an outer member or circular wheel cover base member, each of simulated spokes diverging from the decorative base portion to be attached at their radially inner ends by a connecting rib which enables the first set of spoke clusters to overlap. The second set of spoke clusters are angularly positioned in a criss-cross relationship around the wheel cover, each spoke cluster in the second set comprising two simulated spokes attached at their radially inner ends at axially spaced points to a base plate, each of the simulated spokes diverging from the base plate to be separately secured to the circular wheel cover base member at their radially outer ends. It is the overlapping, staggering and axial spacing of the simulated spokes that furnishes the extra depths of spokes. The wheel cover is easy to manufacture and assemble and adapts readily to the use of lightweight materials such as plastic.
