<p>A wheel cover for a motor vehicle comprises a main body having a plurality of holding claws integrally circumferentially formed on a rear surface of the body, the holding claws being provided with an engaging portion formed on a radial outside surface of a head portion. A resilient reinforcement ring has approximately the same diameter as the diameter defined by the holding claws. Each claw has a projection integrally formed on the radial inside surface of its head portion, this projection protruding substantially radially inwardly with respect to the inside surface of the head portion and including a wire-ring surface that engages and holds the reinforcement ring. The latter is inserted into the wire-ring engaging surface, whereby such surfaces of each of the holding claws, when the wheel cover is removably fitted to a wheel, are pressed to contact a rim of the wheel by the inherent resilience of the holding claws and the ring. An opening penetrates the claw radially and is positioned under the projection, a metal mold being positionable within this opening for integrally forming the wire-ring surface when molding the wheel cover.</p> |
