A wheel cover locking assembly comprises a knob in which a plastic bolt is rotatably mounted, the bolt extending through a wheel cover and engaging a nut carried on a bracket affixed to a wheel by means of lug nuts, so that rotation of the bolt locks the wheel cover on the wheel. A cam piece located inside the knob and hidden by a snap-in decorative cover can be rotated by means of a simple key to clutch and de-clutch the knob to and from the bolt. The simplified and economical construction tends to be impervious to water and dirt.
