Abstract
A wheel cover of an automobile is formed with several holding holes on an outward side thereof, and has light emitting members fixedly disposed in respective holding holes; each light emitting member consists of a circuit board, an electricity-activated light emitting element connected to an outward side of the circuit board, cells, and a vibration-activated switch fitted to the circuit board, which can make the light emitting element activated with the cells when making circular movement; thus, light can be emitted from the light emitting members when an automobile equipped with the wheel cover is driven, and in turns, lateral sides of the automobile can be easily noticed by other people.
