Disclosed herein is a plastic wheel cover for a road wheel. The wheel cover comprises a cover proper; a series of lugs integrally formed on an inboard face of the cover proper, each lug having a latching pawl which is to be latchingly engageable with an annular ridge formed on a wheel disc of a road wheel; a resilient wire ring held by the lugs and biasing the same radially outwardly; and a series of stoppers integrally formed on the inboard face of the cover proper, the stoppers being arranged to alternate with the lugs. Each of the stoppers comprises at least one radially extending wall which has an upper surface sloped. The height of the wall is gradually reduced as the distance from an inboard end of the wall increases.
