A cover assembly for removably covering a hub of a wheel rim includes a ring-shaped outer cover defining a cover central hole, and a connector having a connector outer annular wall, a connector inner annular wall extending through the cover central hole for connection with a hub inner peripheral wall of the hub and provided with a first external thread for threadedly connecting with a first internal thread of the hub, and an annular flange extending from a junction of the connector inner and outer annular walls. A first elastic ring is sleeved on the connector inner annular wall and is configured to be disposed between and abut against the connector inner annular wall and the hub inner peripheral wall.

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 end cover for enclosing and protecting a vehicle non-driven wheel hub assembly from a vehicle body inner side. The hub assembly includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and two rows of rolling bodies disposed therebetween. The outer and inner rings define an interior space of the hub assembly in a radial direction. An end of the outer ring facing the vehicle body inner side forms a spigot for connection purposes. The end cover is formed having a pressure fitting part tightly fitted to the spigot from a radial direction, and a radial main body part capable of closing the interior space of the hub assembly from an axial direction. The pressure fitting and the radial main body parts form an elastic retainer. The end cover is largely made of a plastic material, and an at least partially contained metal framework is formed in the elastic retaining region.
