Abstract

See full text

A removable wheel cover includes a dome-shaped body having a perimeter edge and a central core. A body elevation increases from the perimeter edge to a maximum elevation between the perimeter edge and the central core. Concentric raised ribs between the perimeter edge and the maximum elevation decrease in diameter between successive raised ribs toward the maximum elevation. A central core sleeve wall has an end face. An apex of each of multiple sleeve wall tabs positioned proximate the end face together define a first plane positioned with respect to a perimeter edge second plane. A wheel having a central hub is mounted to a tire. In an installed position, the perimeter edge is positioned in continuous contact with the tire or the wheel and the body is elastically deflected toward the wheel to engage the tabs against a wheel hub aperture raised edge thereby resisting wheel cover removal.
