Abstract
A wheel cover device includes a mounting bracket mounted to a vehicle wheel; a first fastener with a first thread on the mounting bracket; a covering panel covering the wheel and having a through opening; a button movably held on the mounting bracket and the first fastener, the button having a peg; a spring supported on the mounting bracket and the button; and a second fastener with a second thread, a receptacle, and a ramp. In order to fix the covering panel to the first fastener, the second fastener is inserted into the through opening and is rotated in relation to the covering panel, so that the first fastener and the button screw the fasteners together by the threads thereby causing the peg to slide along and from the ramp into the receptacle to tension the spring and thereby tension the peg into the receptacle.
