ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly for a vehicle has a metal decorative cover extending over the wheel center of a conventional steel wheel. The outer periphery of the cover extends around the junction between the wheel center and the well of the steel wheels's rim. The cover has stud holes which register with those of the steel wheel, and is clamped to the wheel center by the wheel mounting studs and nuts of the vehicle. The cover is spaced from the wheel center between the periphery of the cover and the stud holes which are preferably recessed in the cover. Reinforcing members may bridge the space between the cover and the wheel center. Preferably, the outer periphery of the cover is formed as a lip curved into the joint of the rim and center. Different covers can be interchanged on the wheel to change the appearance thereof.
