Abstract: A wire wheel cover assembly which includes a hub, a rim member and a plurality of spoke members extending between the hub and the rim member is assembled securely by first and second clamping members which generate cooperatively a clamping force to hold firmly the component parts of the wire wheel cover together when the clamping members are fastened together at their central portions. The first clamping member has a flange extending radially outward and axially outward and the second clamping member has a flange extending radially outward and axially inward.
