An improved center retention system for a wheel trim is disclosed which includes an improved anti-rotation assembly for preventing relative rotation of both the wheel trim and the center securing member with respect to the lock bracket secured to the vehicle wheel. In one embodiment, a plurality of trim engaging clips are secured to the lock bracket and a separate spring biased retainer assembly is provided on the trim member to prevent rotation of the center securing fastener. In another embodiment the clips are replaced by a washer element which includes a plurality of arms engageable with the wheel trim to prevent relative rotation between the trim and the lock bracket. Several alternative arrangements for preventing relative rotation of the center securing fastener with respect to the lock bracket are also disclosed.
