Abstract
A hubcap assembly that includes a push-through hubcap having a resilient member disposed on its external surface to maintain a tight fit engagement between the hubcap and a hub bore of an associated wheel. The hubcap assembly of the present invention decreases the potential for the hubcap to become loose and move within the hub bore, thus decreasing the potential for the hubcap to rattle within the hub bore.
