Abstract
A wheel cover assembly having an array of pocket inserts correspondingly disposed within an array of turbine pockets of a wheel cover for providing multitudes of different decorative wheel appearances. The pocket inserts are fastened to the wheel cover using an integral snap tab arrangement including integral snap tabs that extend in an inboard direction from the inboard surface of the wheel cover and that are disposed around each turbine pocket. The pocket inserts include integral snap tabs, corresponding to the integral snap tabs of the wheel cover, that extend in an inboard direction from an inboard surface of the pocket insert, and thereby interlock with the integral snap tabs of the wheel cover to retain the pocket inserts within the turbine pockets of the wheel cover. Surface treatments of the wheel cover and pocket inserts can be varied to provide a contrasting decorative appearance across the wheel cover assembly.
