ABSTRACT:
This assembly comprises a metal wheel cover for an automobile wheel fixed at its outer rim to a full skirt lockring and having a central depressed wall onto which there is fitted a center cup having a bottom wall resting against the depressed wall. The cup is attached to said depressed wall and to a mounting plate overlying the front side of the bottom wall of the cup. A wire wheel basket overlies the front of the wheel cover and is held between an outer annular flange on the cover and the outer annular wall of the cup in assembled relation thereto. A decorative spinner simulating member fits into the center cup and is fixed to the mounting plate. The wire basket comprises an outer annular larger wire ring, disposed close to the outer flange of said wheel cover, and a pair of coaxial, axially spaced, similar smaller rings disposed axially outwardly of the larger ring, and sets of straight wire spokes welded at their outer ends to the larger ring and welded at their inner ends to one or the other of the smaller rings. Thus, the entire wheel cover assembly comprises the wheel cover with its lockring, the cup, the completely integrated wire basket, and central spinner simulating member, the mounting plate and the fasteners for attaching the cup and wheel cover to the mounting plate for attaching the central spinner simulating member to the mounting plate.
