A wheel mounted display provides one or more presentations at one or more wheels of a vehicle. The presentations may provide advertising, informational, or other material, and are maintained in an upright position even while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel mounted display comprises a display showing one or more presentations may be rotatably attached to a wheel. A ballast is provided to aid in maintaining an upright position for the presentations. A mount allows attachment to a variety of wheels without requiring modification of the wheels.

The present disclosure is directed to a wheel cover that is coupled to a wheel of a vehicle utilizing a mounting assembly that has a bearing block. A retainer assembly in combination with the bearing block of the mounting assembly allows the wheel cover to be coupled to the wheel in a manner such that the wheel cover does not rotate with the forward and backward rotation of the wheel when the vehicle is being driven. The wheel cover covers the wheel and partially covers a gap or space between a tire of the wheel and a fender of the vehicle, which increases the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. The retainer assembly provides at least one degree of freedom such that the wheel cover may move with the wheel when steering the vehicle in a leftward direction and a rightward direction.

Disclosed is a wheel cover for a vehicle. The wheel cover is supported to be relatively rotatable with rotation of a wheel having a tire attached to an outer periphery of the wheel. The wheel cover has a shape indicating a moving direction of a vehicle or a figure indicating the moving direction of the vehicle outward in a vehicle width direction, and is configured to be turned by an actuator such that, when the moving direction of the vehicle is changed, the shape or the figure indicates the moving direction of the vehicle.

A wheel and a motor vehicle. The wheel includes: a wheel hub; a wheel rim, connected to the wheel hub through a plurality of spokes, the plurality of spokes being spaced apart from each other to form a plurality of through spaces; and a plurality of baffles, movably installed to the wheel relative to the wheel hub and configured to move relative to the wheel hub in response to changes in a speed of a vehicle to provide different shielding degrees for corresponding through spaces among the plurality of through spaces.

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

A power generation system is provided configured for installation within a wheel of a vehicle. The system includes a stator having a plurality of face-mounted permanent magnets; and a rotor having a plurality of windings configured to rotate, with rotation of the wheel, in proximity to the permanent magnets thereby generating a current. The stator is mounted to a brake caliper of the vehicle. Also provided is a wheel-based vehicle display system including a light emitting diode (LED) array arranged on or within a wheel of a vehicle; a power source connected thereto; and a controller connected to the LED array. The display system is configured to display at least one of: textual information, visual images or full-motion video.
