Abstract
A wheel trim attachment system using stud extenders for attachment to either a front or rear wheel of a motor vehicle. The device is designed such that the same stud extender can be used for the front wheel as can be used for the rear wheel. The stud extenders allow attachment of the decorative trim member without removal of an existing lug. One embodiment of the trim member allows for attachment of a stud extender even where there are insufficient threads on a wheel stud above a wheel lug.
