ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a wheel trim retention for securely and removably attaching a wheel trim member to a vehicle wheel comprising a retention band having a plurality of clip members secured to the wheel facing side thereof each of which has a pair of tooth carrying arms which are adapted to bitingly engage a portion of the wheel so as to form a primary retention arrangement. The retention band may also be provided with an annular or localized radially outwardly extending protrusion which is adapted to engage a safety groove provided on the wheel in response to the distortion of the retention band caused by the forces generated by the engagement of the toothed members with another portion of the wheel thereby providing a secondary mechanically interlocking retention.
