A magnetic hub plug apparatus for sealing a wheel hub and detecting wheel bearing failure includes a plug body having a plug outer side, a plug inner side, and a plug edge. A seal ring has a proximal perimeter coupled to the plug inner side, a distal perimeter, and a seal sidewall extending from the proximal perimeter to the distal perimeter. The seal ring is configured to sealingly fit within a wheel hub cap. A magnet extension is coupled to the seal ring. The magnet extension extends from the seal sidewall and dips within an oil reservoir of the wheel hub cap with each rotation. A magnet insert is coupled within the magnet extension to collect particles from a faulty wheel bearing. A plug grip is coupled to the plug body and extends from the plug outer side.

A wheel having a hub portion disposed in a center of the wheel, a center bore disposed at the center of the wheel and disposed within a perimeter of the hub portion, a center bore perimeter wall disposed around a perimeter of the center bore and a center bore profile nested within the center bore perimeter wall, the center bore profile having a snap cap engaging element configured to secure a snap cap and a CR adapter thread configured to engage with a lower thread of a CR adapter, and a CR adapter configured to attach a hex cap to the CR adapter thread. A lug cover may also be secured to the hex cap. The center bore profile allows for the selective utilization of either an ESR snap cap or a hex cap as part of a wheel, based upon application needs or aesthetic preference.

An illumination system for a vehicle wheel. A lighting component is attached to a hubcap, a wheel center hubcap, or both. The lighting component may be externally attached or embedded, or attached to a back side of the hubcap, the wheel center hubcap, or both. The lighting component may be a plurality of LED lights configured to illuminate an area external to the hubcap or wheel center hubcap. The lighting component may emit a single color or multiple colors of light either continuously or in a pattern. The lighting component is solar powered and may employ a battery backup. The illumination system may be controlled via a switch or wirelessly with an external controller or via a mobile application.

In an aspect, a protective kit for a vehicle wheel is provided. The wheel includes a rim with a pressurized tire mounted thereon. An outboard flange of the rim and an outboard side of the tire are resiliently engaged. The kit includes a wheel cover member including a cover sheet with outer and inner edges, and a through-opening, and an elastic member connected to the cover sheet at the inner edge. The through-opening and elastic member can encircle the outboard flange of the rim. The kit further includes a plurality of driving cards, each having a selected rigidity and a selected thickness so as to be pushable against the wheel cover member in between the outboard side of the tire and the rim, so as to drive the wheel cover member radially inwardly between the outboard side of the tire and the rim.

The application relates to a wheel hub for vehicle, which comprises a flange, a rim, a spoke, a central hole, and bolt bores distributed around the central hole. According to the disclosure, the flange on the wheel front side is affixed with an extension part comprising a radial extension magnitude extending to the outer periphery of the wheel hub and an axial extension magnitude extending to the wheel front side, the extension part comprises a plurality of sections circumferentially distributed along the flange, so as to form on the wheel front side an envelope circle having a diameter size increased by twice the radial extension magnitude. The present disclosure further satisfies the additional needs of the user with respect to the overall design of the wheel.

A modular billet hub which includes a removable hub ring having a plurality of hub ring openings located around a periphery of the removable hub ring, a removable barrel having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the removable barrel is operatively attached to the removable hub ring, a removable billet insert located within the removable hub barrel and located adjacent to the second end of the removable barre, and a retaining ring located within the removable hub barrel and located adjacent to the billet insert in order to retain the billet insert within the removable barrel.

An improved snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay with extended overlay and method for manufacturing the same, wherein when snapped in place over an existing damaged manufacturer's wheel cover, the wheel cover overlay with extended surround of the present invention, in addition to the presence of hook-shaped members for the purpose of securing the former to the latter, is further secured by inserting a tension rotation device from the reversed position of a tire into a manufactured in wheel cover overlay tension tabs assembly, such that tension rotation device prongs of a tension rotation device penetrate through a tension rotation device prong's corresponding openings. Said tension tab rotation device is secured in said tension tabs assembly by the use of a tension rotation device fastener, after which an automobile emblem support device with tension tabs corresponding to a tension tab guide plate slits is inserted to further secure the wheel cover overlay with extended surround of the present invention to an existing damaged manufacturer's wheel cover.

A car wheel rim decoration cover fastening structure includes a wheel rim, a locking ring, a wheel rim cover, and a central cap. The wheel rim has a rim body and a central hole. The wheel rim has an inner flange formed in the central hole. The locking ring is mounted in the central hole of the wheel rim and locked on the inner flange of the wheel rim. The wheel rim cover has multiple locking blocks secured to the rim body of the wheel rim. The wheel rim cover corresponds to the locking ring. The central cap extends through the center of the wheel rim cover and is locked on the inside of the locking ring. The central cap presses the wheel rim cover. Thus, the wheel rim cover is fixed and will not be detached.
