ABSTRACT:
A locking assembly for fastening a lug not cover on a vehicle wheel secured to a vehicle is disclosed. The mounting bracket and the lug nut cover both have elongated holes which makes them universal and allows them to fit a large number of lug bolt spacings measured from the center of the axle to the center of the lug bolt. A lug nut cover is fitted onto special lug nuts containing an extension to the lug nut. This mounting bracket which extends through the center of the wheel communicates with the locking mechanism thereby holding the lug nut cover firmly in place.
