Abstract
A wheel cover for passenger motor vehicles with a mounting member fashioned as a wire spring ring. The wire spring ring is provided with radially outwardly projecting bracket members which are guided at the hub cap and are lockable into a recess at a rim of a wheel. Two mutually concentrically arranged hubcap sections are provided which cover the rim of the wheel and form between them an annular vent slot. The hubcap sections are connected to each other by webs. An inner hubcap section covers the wire spring ring and the webs are arranged axially in front of braces of a bracket member, which braces emanate toward the outside from the circular ring shape of the wire ring.
