Abstract: A universal mount for tire rims includes a plurality of clips mounted peripherally of a wheel cover. A first type of clip consists of a clip member mounted in a clip housing guided in linear movements on a shaft and having a distal end with an arcuate termination designed to fit over a peripheral surface on a wheel. The proximal end of the clip member has an undulating portion with each horizontal surface having a hole, the holes being aligned with one another so that a guide shaft may extend through the holes to guide the clip member in vertical movements. Also mounted on the shaft are two coil springs, one mounted above the proximal end of the clip member, and one mounted below the proximal end of the clip member. In a second type of clip, the shaft is threaded and holes in the proximal undulating portion of the clip member are threaded and receive the threaded shaft. In this way, the threaded shaft prevents free vertical movements of the clip member.
