ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover includes a cover with a number of lug wells. The lug wells extend to a distal end. The lug nuts used to hold the wheel to the wheel hub also hold the wheel cover to the wheel. A nut cap covers the lug nuts to further aesthetically enhance the wheel. The lug wells include anti-rotational projections and nut cap stops to ensure the nut caps remain secured to the wheel cover. The anti-rotational projections and the nut cap stops extend up from locking flanges located at the distal end of the lug well. The anti-rotational projections and the nut cap stops do not intersect each other. The threads on the nut cap abut the anti-rotational projections as the nut cap is rotated over them and the nut cap stop prevents the nut cap from rotating past its engagement with the threads located within the lug wells.
