Abstract
A wheel cover positioning system for a wheel having a disc and a rim includes a plurality of standoff legs equidistantly spaced about a circle coaxial with the wheel cover and the wheel. The legs extend axially toward the wheel and engage the wheel rim at a flex free rigid hub positioned radially inwardly of a tire seat portion of the rim. The legs may be positioned to also engage a radially outer face of the disc adjacent the juncture between the disc and the rim. Appropriate clearance between the wheel cover and the peripheral edge of the wheel rim is thus provided for avoiding abutment between these surfaces and squeaking noises generated by flex movement of the tire seat portion of the rim relative to the wheel cover.
