Abstract
A wheel has a structural wheel center of non-ferrous metal, such as aluminum or magnesium, with the outboard surface of the wheel center being unplated and of unfinished appearance, a tire supporting rim connected to the wheel center, and a chrome plated, thin gauge, steel cover applied over the outboard side of and attached to the wheel center. The cover conforms to and covers the unfinished outboard surface of the wheel center and gives the wheel the appearance of having a chromed, non-ferrous wheel center. Preferably, outer and inner axial flanges on the cover are a press fit onto corresponding shoulders of the wheel center.
