PURPOSE: Fixing structure of a wheel cap for a vehicle is provided to prevent a wheel cap from being separated from a wheel by force applied to the wheel cap while a vehicle is traveling, as well as to separate the wheel cap from the wheel without an additional tool. CONSTITUTION: Fixing structure of a wheel cap consists of a rotation support unit including a support unit(12a) combined to the inside of a wheel(10) to be rotatable from inside to outside of the wheel and a hinge(12b) coupled to the nearest part of the wheel, having a shape of rotating a U-shaped part at 90 degrees counterclockwise with the hinge; a leaf spring(13) having a side connected to the inside of the wheel to bend the other side into the wheel; a ball stopper(14) positioned right under a wheel cap(11) to rotate the wheel cap into the wheel only if force is applied to the wheel cap; and a closed sill(15) mounted right under the wheel cap opposite to the ball stopper to prevent the wheel cap from moving toward the wheel and to keep the center of gravity of the wheel cap. The closed sill keeps the center of gravity of the wheel cap together with the ball stopper as well as prevents the wheel cap from moving to the wheel. Thereby, the wheel cap is not separated from the wheel.
