ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover with a wire ring, especially for passenger motor vehicles, whereby the wire ring is composed of several sections, preferably of generally circular segments, and is constructed as a prestressed bent spring. This bent spring is received by guides mounted on the wheel cover and is advantageously retained by nose-like holding members when installed in the wheel cover. After the wheel cover is mounted on the wheel rim, the bent spring attains a generally circular contour and moves away from the nose-like holding members. The wire spring can be manufactured in a very simple and cost-favorable manner and may, since it is prestressed, be provided with a soft spring characteristic. As a result thereof, the system, i.e., cover, wheel, and connecting spring ring, becomes substantially independent of diameter variations of the cover.
