Abstract
A mold for molding a wheel cover for a vehicle road wheel by injection molding of a synthetic resin or die casting of a light metal alloy, the wheel cover being a one-piece member having spoke-like portions extending obliquely with respect to both the center axis and radii of the wheel cover. To form the spoke-like portions each as a straightly extending portion, one of the two mold members which can be brought into contact with each other to provide cavities therebetween has a portion in the form of a truncated pyramid and the other is recessed to have a plurality of flat faces which are respectively opposite to and can mate with the flat side faces of the truncated pryamid, and these side faces or the flat faces in the opposite mold member, or both, are formed with elongate and straight grooves in which the spoke-like portions are formed.
