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.

Decorative trim panel on a motor vehicle rim (1), consisting of at least one plate-shaped trim part (9, 10) which at least partially covers the visible side of the motor vehicle rim (1) and which can be settleable in a load-transmitting manner to the spokes (2, 3) and/or to the rim ring (6) of the rim (1) by means of counter holding and/or latching means (14, 74, 75), wherein the counter holding means on the trim part side are formed from at least one latching foot (14) which is integrally formed on the surface of the trim part (9, 10), a hook head (107) integrally formed thereon, and in that the latching foot (14) is part of a latching connection (74) on the trim part (9, 10), the bending of which is effected by a locking slide (91, 101) which is formed to be displaceable and lockable in a latching gap (72) of the latching connection (74) and selectively consolidates or releases the latching connection (74) and therby bends or returns the latching foot (14) towards the rim side.

A decorative trim panel on an automobile rim (1) composed of at least one plate-shaped trim element (9, 10) that at least partially covers the visible side of the automobile rim (1), which can be secured by retaining means (12, 14-16) on the spokes (2-4) of the rim (1), wherein a fastening plate (12) bears on the back surface of the at least one spoke (2-4) in a load transferring manner, and can be attached to the trim element (9, 10) in each case via retaining connections (63, 64).

Provided are a decorative part, a wheel, and a fixation structure of such decorative part and wheel that are unaffected by variations in sizes at the time of manufacturing. The decorative part is to be attached to a vehicular wheel. This decorative part has the fixation portions to be fixed to the wheel; and the first plate-shaped ribs and the second plate-shaped ribs that are arranged at given intervals. The decorative part is to be fixed to the wheel with linear convex portions formed on the wheel being arranged in between and positioned to the first plate-shaped ribs and the second plate-shaped ribs.

A wheel assembly that provides a simulated center lock wheel look that also enables exchanging of ornamental face plates with a center hub attachment device that will allow car enthusiasts to easily change the look of their automotive wheels while maintaining a center lock wheel appearance. The assembly includes three components: a base wheel, a plurality of ornamental face plates, and a center hub attachment extending from one of either the hub or the ornamental face plate.

Provided are: a cap member, which is applicable to a wheel mounting nut and is less likely to deteriorate its appearance even if attachment and removal thereof is repeated; and a method of mounting a wheel using the cap member. A cap member 1 includes: a shaft portion 11 provided with a male thread 11a to be screwed on a base end portion of a female thread 2a of a wheel mounting nut 2; and a cover portion 12 that is integrally formed with a base end of the shaft portion 11 and covers a base end opening of the wheel mounting nut 2. The shaft portion 11 is provided on a distal end thereof with a hexagonal hole 13, which serves as a tool engagement portion.

The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic transparent resin composition for a wheel rust cover. The thermoplastic transparent resin composition is excellent in transparency and impact strength and suitable for a vacuum compression thermal molding process. A thermoplastic transparent resin composition for a wheel rust cover includes 20 wt % to 60 wt % of a graft copolymer, 40 wt % to 70 wt % of a non-graft copolymer, and 3 wt % to 10 wt % of a processing aid, in which a total rubber content is 10 wt % to 25 wt %, a total methacrylic acid alkyl ester compound content is 34 wt % to 67 wt %, a total aromatic vinyl compound content is 16 wt % to 40 wt %, and a total vinyl cyan compound content is 0 wt % to 10 wt %.

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.

Forming features in the surface of a bicycle component involves depositing a substance onto a substrate in a geometric pattern to form a transfer medium. Forming features may also involve positioning the transfer medium relative to an unformed bicycle component, and forming a negative of the geometric pattern in the bicycle component through the application of heat and/or pressure to the transfer medium and the unformed bicycle component. The transfer medium may be configured for use in the molding of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) bicycle components and may include a substrate formed of a flexible material, and a geometric pattern formed of a hard material, the hard material different than the flexible material.
