Abstract
A vehicle wheel cover is provided. The vehicle wheel cover includes a base, and a printed layer formed at a first location of the base. The printed layer is formed from a plurality of layers of images, such that, at least a first layer of the plurality of layers is located at a first depth from other layers of the plurality of layers. The vehicle wheel cover further includes a plurality of brake cooling holes that is formed as a pattern at a second location of the base. The second location is different from the first location. Based on a movement and an illumination of the vehicle wheel cover, the printed layer forms a three-dimensional graphic image.
