Abstract
A simulated knock off wheel spinner nut which can be attached to a wheel without having to remove the wheel from the vehicle. The simulated nut is sized to be partially inserted into the hub opening of the wheel and then locked in position by a plurality of rigid tabs located about the inner circumference of the spinner nut and maintained in place by set screws with their heads accessible from the outer circumference of the nut. By tightening these screws, each tab is drawn tightly against the inside wall of the hub securing the nut to the wheel.
