ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a wheel cover in use for motor vehicles. The wheel cover includes a circular main body, a plurality of holding claws extending from a rear surface of the main body, and a resilient ring to be mounted on the holding claws so as to urge radially outwardly the holding claws. On the rear surface of the main body at positions between the neighboring holding claws are arranged support members each having a groove for receiving the resilient ring. The groove is defined by a bottom surface and a pair of protrusions aligning along the radial direction of the main body. The radial movment of the ring mounted on the holding claws can be regulated by the pair of protrusions so that the expansion of the ring is restricted, resulting in that the holding claws is prevented from expanding radially outwardly, and the ring is prevented from disengaging from the holding claws.
