ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover is formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings corresponding in number and arrangement to the wheel studs of a vehicle wheel. A decorative cap member is provided in each opening for threaded engagement with external screw threads of the vehicle's lug nuts to secure the wheel cover on the wheel. A retainer member is mounted on the inner end of each cap member presenting a radially outwardly extending shoulder that prevents the cap members from being separated from the wheel cover once installed. The retainer members further act between the cap members and their lug nuts in such manner as to hold the cap members securely but releasably against unthreading from the lug nuts during normal use.
