Abstract
A lug cap includes a detent along the inner wall. The detent has an engaging surface that begins shortly after a threaded portion of the lug cap ends. The engaging surface ramps up to a top surface that runs parallel to the inner wall. The lug nut engages the detent which prevents the rotation of the lug cap with respect to the lug nut by increasing the force required to loosen or tighten the lug cap from the lug nut.
