A wheel cover and assembly comprising same, in which the wheel cover has a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings, each of which is aligned with one of the lug stud receiving openings of the vehicle wheel and is adapted to receive the axially outer end of a lug stud. As a retention device for the wheel cover, each of the spaced openings has at its periphery an expandable ring, a radially outer portion of the ring being trapped in an annular channel formed by the wheel cover at the periphery of the spaced opening. A radially inner portion of the expandable ring is seated against and thereby held axially inward of an annular step of a corresponding lug stud nut. The expandable ring is capable of resiliently expanding radially at least sufficiently to pass over the outer end of the lug stud nut.
