The simulated wire wheel cover comprises a rim portion which has a retention means 12 attached thereto for attachment to the wheel of a vehicle. The rim portion has a plurality of holes 18 therethrough to receive ends of at least one series of nested substantially V-shaped members 26, 28. The V- shaped members are provided with outwardly facing conically shaped ends 44 which are in intimate contact with the annular surfaces defining the holes to firmly position the V-shaped members and to limit the travel of the members through the holes of the rim portion. The wheel cover has a body portion 20 radially inward of the rim portion and is provided with at least one circular camming surface 22,24 in the region of the apex of each of the substantially V-shaped members which bear upon the camming surface. Means 34, 48 are attached to the body portion to capture and force each of the V- shaped members against the camming surface to drive each of them toward the rim portion. <IMAGE> |
