ABSTRACT:
A trim attachment for a motor vehicle wheel includes a plurality of generally conical retention members which engage and secure the trim attachment directly to complementary conical surfaces on conventional threaded lug nuts utilized to retain the wheel in the vehicle. The retention members are spaced about the trim attachment in a pattern corresponding to that of the wheel lug nut. The members include a central conical surface which engages the conical portion of the lug nut, a stop structure positioned uniformly at one end of each conical surface which engages the body of the lug nut, a resilient camming structure disposed uniformly at the other end of each conical surface which resiliently engages the conical surface of a lug nut and a free standing triangular tab adjacent the camming surface and pointing away therefrom which guides and engages the trim attachment onto the lug nuts.
