Abstract
Abstract Wheel covers and the like which are mounted for rotation independently of the wheel rotation. The apparatus may be affixed to the usual hub caps of automotive vehicles, or may be affixed directly to the hub of the wheel assembly, or may be affixed to the lugs which secure the wheel to the hub assembly. Preferably, for utmost safety, the wheel covers are disposed entirely within the limits of the surrounding tire.
