Title: Wheel trim retention

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a novel wheel trim retention for retaining wheel trim on the outer face of a vehicle wheel. The invention is especially adaptable for use with wheel trim made of plastic or the like. The retention system comprises specially designed spring clips which contain two members attached to a base portion which limit the radial and circumferential movement of the clip relative to the wheel trim, and a terminal portion which extends radially inwardly to limit the axial movement of the clip and help retain the clip on the wheel trim.
