A plastic wheel cover is provided with a plurality of recesses opening to a flange of the wheel and the tire bead when the cover is assembled to the wheel. Each recess houses a generally C-shaped clip having a body portion fitting within the opening of the recess and return bent leg portions locked between end walls of the recess and a transverse intermediate wall. Axially spaced rows of teeth on the body portion engage the tire bead and flange of the wheel to retain the cover to the wheel.
