In the present invention, a bracket is provided having a cloverleaf hole which can receive lugs sized and spaced for a six lug, eight lug, and ten lug variety. Additionally, a mounting orifice is provided which can be placed on the wheel at a constant radius from the center of the wheel to allow a single wheel liner to be attached to different sized wheels. Attachments can be used to attach the wheel liner to the bracket. The wheel liner can have lug covers and hub covers.
