Abstract
A wheel trim system for attachment to a wheel of a vehicle. The wheel typically has a wheel flange and a plurality of studs with each stud shaped to engage at least one lug nut. The wheel trim system preferably comprises a wheel trim member and a fastener shaped to attach to the stud for releaseably attaching the wheel trim member to the wheel. The wheel trim member includes a trim flange, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and an embossment spaced from the trim flange. The embossment surrounds a hole shaped to receive one of the studs. The embossment is of a larger size than the lug nut and is positioned to space the wheel trim member from the lug nut when the lug nut is positioned on the stud.
