Abstract
A wheel cover and retaining clip system for a vehicle wheel having a molded plastic cover with circumferentially spaced retaining clip bosses. Each boss includes a retaining clip recess and a buttress. The buttress contacts the wheel flange and a J-shaped spring clip disposed in the recess engages the tire rim safety hump. The buttress prevents loosening of the retaining clip due to distortion of the wheel cover.
