Abstract
A simulated wire wheel cover and the method of assembling it. Three rows of spokes are assembled one on top of the other in overlapping relationship. Each of the three rows of spokes are comprised of a plurality of equal spoke sections, each having a plurality of spokes connected to a base member. The spoke sections of the bottom two rows of spokes are interchangeable with each other. The bottom two rows of spokes also are assembled in an annular outer cover element in a radially and circumferentially interlocking relationship. An inner circular cover element holds the bottom two rows of spokes in position. The spokes of the third or upper row of spokes are longer and lie in grooves in the inner cover element. The ends of the spokes in all three rows of spokes have simulated nuts thereon and rest in mating elements in the outer cover element. A hub element overlays the central portion of the inner cover element and holds the upper or third layer of spokes in place.
