Abstract
A method for manufacturing a simulated wire wheel cover is disclosed which utilizes an integral array of spokes to provide the structural support for the other members. The spoke array is composed of a plurality of interconnected spoke members. A central hub member is then fastened to the central portion of the spoke array. A circular rim member engages and is held in position by the outer ends of the spokes in the spoke array. The rim member is provided with integral retention means for retaining the wheel cover on the vehicle wheel.
