<p>A decorative wheel trim for an automobile wheel rim in which the wheel trim comprises a castellated decorative ring member (9) having resiliently deflectable castellation members (10A) adapted to engage under resilient deflection of the castellation members (10A) with the radially inner surface (11) of the hump (4) of the wheel rim (1) to retain the decorative ring member (9) in the area of the wheel rim bounded by the transversely outer flange (2) of the wheel rim (1) and the transversely outer corner (12) of the well (5) of the wheel rim (1). The decorative ring member (9) comprises a concentric substantially right-angle section (13) having a concentric base portion (14) for location transversely and radially outermost adjacent the radially inner surface (15) of said outer flange (2) of the wheel rim (1), and a castellated concentric flange portion (16) for location adjacent the radially inner surface (17) of the outer tyre-bead seat (3) of the wheel rim (1) to engage under resilient deflection with the radially inner surface (11) of said hump (4) of the wheel rim (1). The castellation members (10A) have sufficient flexure in relation to the concentric flange portion (16) of the decorative ring member (9) as to be deflectable adequately for resilient spring movement of said castellation members (10A) to engage with the radially inner surface (11) of said hump (4) of the wheel rim (1) and retain the decorative ring member (9) in the specified area of the wheel rim (1). </p> |
