Abstract: When removing a wheel cover from a wheel, force in an inner peripheral direction is applied to one end portion of an engaging member. The engaging member pivots (including elastically deforms) about the other end portion, such that an engaging protruding portion pivots and comes away from an engagable protruding portion. As a result, a center attaching portion is able to be removed from an ornament receiving hole, thus enabling the wheel cover to be removed from the wheel.
