ABSTRACT:
A wheel spinner nut adapter for a wheel assembly, the wheel assembly being of the type that utilizes a hub adapter, the hub adapter being of the type which has a first end for engaging a wheel and a wheel axle assembly, and a second end with external threads which are typically used for engagement with internal threads of a wheel spinner. The wheel spinner nut adapter of the present invention includes a first hollow end portion and a second end portion. The first hollow end portion includes a substantially smooth outer surface being tapered on at least a section thereof. The outer surface has a circular cross section. A threaded inner surface of the first hollow end portion has a circular cross section and substantially constant diameter. The threaded inner surface is for engagement with external threads on a second end of the hub adapter. A distal end of the outer surface has a relatively small diameter and a proximal end of the outer surface has a relatively large diameter so that the outer surface abuts and may be secured against a wheel hub of a wheel assembly when tightened relative to the hub adapter. The second end portion of the wheel spinner nut adapter is adjacent to the proximal end of the first hollow end portion. The second end portion has an outer surface for engagement with a wheel spinner, wheel cap or other device desired to be secured to the wheel assembly.
