A locking device for securing a wheel cover to a vehicle wheel rim, wherein the wheel cover includes a mounting plate having a retention device for mounting the cover to the rim, and a center cap mounted to the mounting plate. A first threaded fastener is mounted to a central portion of the wheel rim and projects axially outwardly through an opening in the mounting plate. A tubular member is mounted to the center cap and extends axially inwardly from an access opening therein and coaxially with the fastener. A second threaded fastener is slidably mounted within the tubular member between the center cap and the mounting plate and threadedly engages the first fastener. The second fastener includes a torque tool engaging portion at the outer end thereof which is accessable through the access opening in the center cap. A cover member is mounted to the wheel cover, by way of a projection which extends through the access opening and is removably mounted within the tubular member, for concealing the access opening of the locked wheel cover.
