ABSTRACT:
Means are disclosed for retaining wheel trim such as a trim ring or wheel cover. The means comprises an annular retention member secured at its outer edge to the wheel trim, and having an axially extending portion inside the conventional intermediate flange of the tire rim. A plurality of retaining clips are secured to this portion of the retention member and have fingers engaging the intermediate tire rim flange. The clips are easily assembled and locked onto the retention member by snap tabs. The construction avoids interference with the mounting of balancing weights on the lip flange of the tire rim.
