ABSTRACT:
A tumbler housing coaxially mounted on a bolt including a lug nut on the other end thereof extends coaxially outwardly from one of the lugs of the wheel support of a vehicle. The end of the tumbler housing is accessible through a hole in the wheel cover through which part of a tumbler can pass so as to engage the tumbler housing and lock the wheel cover to the lug. The tumbler housing is adjustably mounted on the bolt so that the distance which it extends from the lug can be varied thereby accommodating various different wheel covers. A tab on the tumbler coincides with a complementary cut out in the wheel cover to prevent rotation of the locking mechanism.
