A center cap is provided for a motor vehicle wheel. That center cap includes a disc-shaped body having a plurality of radially arrayed mounting projections for engaging in a plurality of cooperating slots in the wheel. Further, a motor vehicle wheel is provided. That motor vehicle wheel includes a body incorporating a wheel hub having a central opening defined within a boundary wall and a center cap received and held in the central opening. The center cap includes a plurality of radially arrayed mounting projections while the body includes a matching plurality of slots and tapering channels sized and shaped to receive the plurality of radially arrayed mounting projections.

A wheel attachment structure includes: multiple lug nut and bolts that each include a nut portion that couples to a wheel stud of a vehicle; multiple lug nut spacers, each lug nut spacer having a nut portion that couples to a bolt portion of the lug nut and bolt; a mounting plate with a set of through holes that allow a bolt portion of the lug nut spacer to extend through the mounting plate; and multiple end caps, each end cap having a nut portion that couples to a bolt portion of the lug nut spacer and secures the mounting plate to the lug nut spacers. A combination lug nut and extension bolt includes: a first threaded cavity able to be secured to a wheel stud; and a first protruding threaded bolt.

A fastener having a fastener body and a protected decorative cap arranged on a head end of the fastener body in a manner that protects the decorative cap from fastener torquing forces applied to said head end that might otherwise damage, disfigure or loosen the cap and that facilitates attachment of the decorative cap to the fastener body.

A lighting module has axial screws that extend axially rearwardly from a rearward surface of the module base and are respectively received in hollow screw bores extending axially rearwardly from a module mounting face of a vehicle wheel. A wheel that receives the lighting module has an axially inwardly facing sidewall into which are formed plural hollow bolt receivers. For each such bolt receiver, a keyed lock assembly having a radial bolt is provided within the body of the module. The bolt is operable to extend radially outwardly through a module bolt hole to a locked position within a respective wheel rim bolt receiver, locking the module to the wheel, and to be retracted radially inwardly to an unlocked position. A transparent cover of the lighting module protects plural LEDs mounted on a forward face of a circuit board.

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.
