Abstract
There is disclosed a center hub cap for vehicle wheels, to be mounted on a wheel for covering a center hole therein. The cap is composed of a flexible material and includes a generally disc-like main body and a plurality of integral projections arranged on the rear side of the main body for engagement with the center hole. The main body on its rear surface has an annular wall projecting axially rearwardly therefrom and formed with cutout portions to define the projections. Each projection extends from a location which is remote from the main body, and has a free end in the form of a stepped portion which can be arranged close to the main body. The projection with a sufficient length provides an improved flexibility, and permits the cap to be used in combination with a wheel whose center hole has to be located close to the cap main body.
