Abstract: A wheel cladding system (18) includes a wheel (10) having a wheel rim (14) and a wheel disk (16) attached to the wheel rim (14). The wheel disk (16) includes a peripheral flange (18) extending circumferentially about a central section (20) having radially extending disk spokes (22). The peripheral flange (18) includes a slot (24). A wheel cladding (12) is secured to the wheel (10) and includes an inner side (36) and an outer side (38) relative to the wheel disk (16). The wheel cladding (12) includes a peripheral edge (40) extending about a central wheel cladding section (42) having wheel cladding spokes (44). The peripheral edge (40) is engaged with the slot (24) and the wheel cladding spokes (44) are engaged with the disk spokes (12) to secure the wheel cladding (12) on the wheel (10).
