Disclosed is a method of forming a wheel assembly consisting of a wheel portion and a cover portion. The method includes handling the wheel portion from dunnage to a work cell with an outboard face of the wheel portion facing away from a supporting surface. Next, determining a planar position and a rotational position of wheel portion and retrieving the cover portion. The method proceeds with applying an adhesive to at least one of the back side of the cover portion and the outboard face of the wheel portion. Then, aligning the cover portion with the wheel portion utilizing the planar position and the rotational position. The next step is engaging the cover portion and the wheel portion with one another and maintaining the wheel portion in engagement with the cover portion for a predetermined amount of time with a predetermined amount of pressure to form the wheel assembly.

A snap-on wheel cover overlay made of a flexible material includes a peripheral boundary defining an inner surface and an outer surface, a surround extending from the peripheral boundary, a plurality of spokes and a plurality of openings, and a plurality of clasp mechanism pairs. Each opening of the plurality of openings passes from the outer surface through the inner surface and is located between each successive spoke of the plurality of spokes. The plurality of clasp mechanism pairs extends from the inner surface with a first clasp mechanism located on a first edge of one spoke and a second clasp mechanism located on a second edge of a succeeding spoke. The wheel cover overlay is capable of forming a first degree of curvature greater than 2.0? for a 10 cm first arc length of a first arc of a circle having a center point on a line extending from a central vertical axis of the wheel cover overlay and arcing away from a central horizontal axis of the wheel cover overlay.

An automobile hub protective cover comprises a support ring and a shielding body. The support ring is made of a metal wire or strip, the shielding body is made of cloth or soft plastic sheet or leather. The support ring is wrapped by the shielding body after being folded, and the support ring and the shielding body are integrally connected by means of a sewing thread or welding, or a connecting body is provided, the connecting body being made of cloth or leather or soft plastic, and the connecting body integrally connecting the support ring and the shielding body by means of a sewing thread or welding.

A wheel disk structure includes a wheel cover and a fastening unit. The wheel cover has a side provided with a plurality of projecting members each having a periphery provided with at least two connecting seats. The fastening unit includes a plurality of locking members detachably mounted on the connecting seats of the projecting members, and a plurality of elastic members mounted between the projecting members and the locking members. Each of the locking members has a first side provided with a locking recess corresponding to each of the projecting members and mounted on each of the elastic members. Each of the locking members has a second side provided with a protrusion. Thus, the fastening unit is detachable and can be removed and replaced when being worn out, so that the wheel cover can be reused.

A vehicle wheel rim shielding device includes a panel that is circularly shaped and rigid. A gasket is coupled to a circumference of the panel. A handle is coupled to the panel and is positioned on an exterior of the panel. A coupler is coupled to the panel and extends from an interior of the panel. The handle is positioned on the panel such that the handle is configured to be grasped by a hand of the user to place the panel in abutment to the rim for treatment of the tire. The coupler is configured to couple the panel to the rim of the vehicle wheel. The gasket is configured to reversibly seal the panel to the rim of the vehicle wheel. Materials employed by a user in the treatment of a tire attached to the rim do not come into contact with the rim.
