ABSTRACT:
A wheel cap (i.e., a wheel cover or hub cap) which has a plurality of stopper parts disposed along the circumferential direction of a circumferential part of a base part and each having a stopper surface opposed to the inner peripheral surface of a wheel disk with a gap therebetween, and a ring holder in an endless annular form having a single looped flexible part along the circumferential direction. Using a wheel cap of this structure, the wheel cap is easily fitted to the wheel disk by a small spring load with light weight, and is prevented from being set into an eccentric state when being fitted or upon an impact. Owing to the improved fittability to the wheel disk the wheel cap is not likely to slip off, and effective utilization of an arranging space is made. Furthermore, the wheel cap is accurately produced with ease.
