ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel cover formed of plastic or metal having a wire ring supported on the inboard face thereof. The ring is formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially outwardly extending projections which are designed to forcibly engage an annular surface on the wheel to retain the cover thereon. The ring is supported on the cover such that the forces developed by displacing the projections radially inwardly as a result of mounting the cover on a wheel are substantially completely absorbed by the ring itself rather than being transmitted to the cover. Thus the cover itself is not subjected to any forces which tend to flex or distort it.
