A fastener, which is longitudinally constrained with respect to the hub spacer, is included within the guide and is laterally movable to allow the fastener to be aligned within the central opening of the wheel cover. A replacement hub cap is mounted in place of the conventional non-locking hub cap. An annular concentric recess is formed in the replacement hub cap and is disposed in a direction away from the automotive wheel. The annular recess forms a narrow bearing shoulder and a small diameter axial bore through which the fastener is disposed.
