Abstract

A wheel cover, especially for passenger motor vehicles, which includes a wire ring serving as a mounting element. The wire ring is provided with outwardly projecting lug-shaped members which are adapted to engage into a recess of a rim of the wheel and held in an axial and peripheral direction at the wheel cover within guides. The guides are constructed as tongue-like covers extending from the outside over the lug-shaped members and are resilient in the radial direction.
