Abstract: In this assembly the lockring is made from a flat metal strip crimped at regular intervals to curve the strip into a band. The ends of the band are riveted together to form a circular lockring. This lockring has spring fingers which alternate at different angles from one side of the lockring to grip a flange of a wheel tire rim. The lockring is fixed to a metal trim ring which underlies the outer flange of the wheel tire rim. The attached together lockring and trim ring are assembled with a molded plastic wheel cover by pins on the wheel cover passing through spaced openings in the attached together lockring and trim ring, said pins being either headed over or receiving push clips applied thereto.

Abstract: This assembly comprises a metal wheel cover for an automobile wheel fixed at its outer rim to a full skirt lockring and having a central depressed wall onto which there is fitted a center cup having a bottom wall resting against the depressed wall. The cup is attached to said depressed wall and to a mounting plate overlying the front side of the bottom wall of the cup. A wire wheel basket overlies the front of the wheel cover and is held between an outer annular flange on the cover and the outer annular wall of the cup in assembled relation thereto. A decorative spinner simulating member fits into the center cup and is fixed to the mounting plate.
