ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lug nut cover for covering, protecting and providing an ornamental decoration to a wheel lug nut of a vehicle. The nut cover has a shell with a closed portion and a plurality of sidewalls extending downwardly from the closed portion. The sidewalls define a generally hollow cavity and terminate in an outward extending flange rim adapted for adjoining a flat surface of a wheel rim when the lug nut cover is installed over a bolt and lug nut for mounting the wheel rim on a vehicle. The lug nut cover further comprises three leaf-springs for inserting into the hollow cavity of the shell. Each leaf-spring is adapted for engaging a side face of the wheel lug nut over which the lug nut cover is installed. The lug nut cover further comprises retaining members for retaining the three leaf-springs in its hollow cavity.
