WHEEL COVER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A composite wheel includes an annular rim and an ornamental applique. The ornamental applique is mechanically locked to the annular rim at the rim flange of the annular rim. A sealant is applied to one of the outboard surface of the annular rim and the inboard surface of the ornamental applique. The sealant, not being relied on for a locking feature, merely seals the space between the annular rim and the ornamental applique from contaminants.
