ABSTRACT:
A rotatably mounted wheel cover disc for covering the wheel rims of vehicles has a hub element that is designed to accommodate a ball bearing and is directly fixed to the heads of the wheel bolts. Eccentrically and rotationally mounted weights on the wheel cover disc cause the wheel cover disc to remain horizontal at all times independently of the position or rotation of the axle part, whereby the positions of the weights line up in a self-balancing manner during the forced coupled rotation of the wheel cover disc.
