ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover mold assembly is provided for all wheel cover styles of a particular wheel diameter and mounting system. The mold assembly includes a top and a bottom base. The top base carries a mold cavity plate and the bottom base carries a mold core plate. The mold cavity plate and mold core plate include cavity surfaces defining the configuration of a specific wheel cover. The bottom mold base additionally includes a core retainer plate, inserts and/or cores which define, in cooperation with the mold core plate, mold cavity portions for a wheel cover mounting system common to various wheel cover styles. If the mounting system comprises an annular grip ring, for example, the inserts or cores cooperate with the core plate to form a grip ring receiving channel on the inner face of the wheel cover. If the mounting system includes individual mounting clips, the mold inserts configure the mold cavity for clip receiving sockets which project axially from the inner face of the wheel cover. For a wire band mounting system, cam face inserts are configured to define axial leg arrays which carry a wire band.
