The plurality of finger elements include first finger elements that engage a first surface of the locking ridges of the lug nuts when the wheel cover attached to the wheel and second finger elements that engage and apply a biasing force to a second opposite surface of the lug nuts when the wheel cover attached to the wheel. Third finger elements can also be provided which are configured to be deflected inward when contacted by either the first or second side of the locking ridges of the lug nuts.
