For use with a wheel having a hub adapted to be secured to a mounting structure by at least one stud extending through a hole in the hub and by a nut fastened to the stud, the hub including a first surface facing the mounting structure and a second surface opposed to the first surface, a wheel hub cover appartus for protecting a portion of the hub adjacent the hole against exposure to fluids includes structure for sealing each surface of the hub adjacent the hole. On the first surface of the hub, a gasket is provided which is adapted to be interposed between the wheel hub and the mounting structure during attachment of the wheel to the mounting structure so that the portion of the hub adjacent the hole is protected from exposure to fluids that are present in the vicinity of the first surface of the hub. A cover protects the portion of the hub adjacent the hole from exposure to fluids that are present in the vicinity of the second surface of the hub, and includes an edge adapted to contact the second surface of the hub along a closed path surrounding the periphery of the hole and defining a region of the second surface of the hub that is protected by the cover from exposure to fluids that are present in the vicinity of the second surface of the hub.
