Wheel cover simulating a high profile automotive wheel and tire

A wheel cover simulating a high profile automotive wheel and tire comprising,

• a) a base mounting plate removably attached to a wheel,
• b) face plate juxtapositioned with the base mounting plate, said face plate configured to partially cover a tire sidewall and a central portion of a wheel, said face plate further comprises a plurality of individual sections extending from a central point simulating a high profile automotive wheel, and
• c) means for urging the face plate toward the base mounting plate in such a manner as to yield when the tire bulges due to weight induced distortion and road hazard impact, thus permitting the face plate to give way at the tire bulge while retaining contiguous engagement of the face plate to the tire.

A wheel cover simulating a high profile automotive wheel and tire comprising,

• a) a base mounting plate attached to a wheel, said base mounting plate further comprises a plurality of ring securing members having grooves therein and a steel retaining ring disposed within grooves,
• b) face plate juxtapositioned with the base mounting plate configured to partially cover a tire sidewall and a central portion of a wheel rim, and
• c) means for urging the face plate toward the base mounting plate in such a manner as to yield when the tire bulges, thereby permitting the face plate to give way at the tire bulge, while still retaining proximal engagement of the face plate to the tire.
