ABSTRACT:
A wheel accessory, e.g., a full wheel cover or a hub cap has a mounting flange provided with openings which match the bolt pattern of the vehicle wheel. A majority of these openings are oversized with respect to the wheel's chamfered or ramped lug nuts so as to readily slip over them. The remaining openings are slightly undersized with respect to the major diameter of the chamfered lug nuts and require the removal of the corresponding lug nuts to allow mounting of the wheel accessory. The wheel accessory is held in place, in a non-interference fit, by expandable washers placed between the mounting flange and the chamfered end of the lug nuts corresponding to the undersized openings.
