Abstract
The contact area between the wheel cover and an engaged part of a disc wheel is increased by providing a projecting part ( ) on an outer surface ( ) of a bulge part ( ), which is an engaging surface of a mounting claw ( ) to be engaged with the annular engaged part of the disc wheel and used for mounting a wheel cover. Further, the friction therebetween is increased. Thus, an operation of hindering rotation of the wheel cover is achieved without forming a rib on the wheel cover and without forming a stopper on the disc wheel.
