Abstract
A wheel cover for catching spray water, dirt or the like, which, in its operating position, is located opposite to and at a distance from the tread periphery of the associated wheel and protrudes downwards relative to the level of the vehicle floor and which can be moved upwards into a non-operating position in which it is substantially retracted into the body of the vehicle. No complicated guide is necessary for the changeover of the wheel cover between its operating position and its non-operating position, since it is hinged on the body of the vehicle and can be pivoted to take up the non-operating position under the vehicle floor.
