The wheel trim assembly is of the type comprising an annular ring having a rim portion disposed on a plane substantially parallel to the plane of said wheel flange. The rim portion has formed on its outer surface a plurality of receptacles each of which slidably receive a spring retention clip for mechanically interlocking the spring retention clip to the annular ring. The spring retention clip is engageable with the wheel flange for mounting the wheel trim assembly on the wheel. The receptacle includes two opposed radially inwardly facing tabs and an axial inwardly facing stop tab all formed by upsetting the tab material from the annular ring. The spring retention clip has an arcuate base portion whose arc corresponds generally to the arc of the outer surface of the annular ring. The base portion of the spring retention clip is received by the receptacle such that each end thereof is captured and guided by the tabs. The stop tab captures the base portion of the spring retention clip along the bottom edge thereof. |
