Abstract
The present invention discloses a wheel trim attachment system that attaches to a yoke having a pair of collars, substantially half-moon shaped, separated by a tab. The collar is sized to fit within the offset of lug nut pairs. A bias member such as a rubber band can be used or any other kind of elastic member can be used to keep the yoke on the lug nut pairs. A mounting orifice is attached to or placed into the tab. Screws are then used to attach the wheel liner to the yoke.
