ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover support pedestal is capable of being mounted centrally on a wheel of the type which includes a radial wall having a central hole therethrough. The hole is snuggly received on a circular hub element of an axle when the wheel is mounted on the axle. The hole is defined by an interior periphery of the radial wall to be generally circular with the periphery including a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches to provide a gap between the periphery at each notch and the circular hub element. The wheel cover support pedestal includes a center portion with an element for securing a center section of a wheel cover thereto. A plurality of leg portions extend from the center portion with each leg portion being aligned with one of the notches and including an extended end which is received within a corresponding gap. The extended end has a radially extending foot to make overlying contact with an inboard side of the radial wall adjacent the gap to cause the center portion to be disposed axially outwardly of an outboard side of the radial wall of the wheel when the wheel cover support pedestal is mounted thereon.
