Disc wheel covers for forming optical illusions such as but not limited to clockwise and counter-clockwise rotating spiral patterns. The wheel covers have fasteners which interlock to mating fasteners on the outer ring of existing wheel hubs of a vehicle in place of hubcaps or attached directly to the outside of existing hubcaps. The fasteners can be extra strong interlocking mushroom shaped fasteners and or hook and loop fasteners. The matting fasteners allow the wheel covers to be detachable when needed but allow the covers to stay on the wheel hubs as the vehicle travels up to speeds of upto approximately 140 mph or more. The spiral patterns can be various color combinations, and be reflective. Alternatively, the wheel covers can have different optical illusions, solid reflective backgrounds, and/or include advertising symbols, logos, and business names.

[ I claim:] [1.] A spiral patterned wheel cover for covering wheel hubs, the cover when rotating with the wheel hubs forming an optical illusion when moving forward, comprising:a first thin rigid and pliable solid plastic disc for substantially and directly covering an existing wheel hub of a vehicle, the disc having a diameter of approximately 13 inches to approximately 18 and 1/2 inches, and the disc having a thickness of approximately 1/32 to approximately 1/2 and inch;perforated opening adjacent to a side edge of the disc forming a removable portion that can be punched out to form an opening for an airstem valve;wherein said removable portion is replaceable in the opening of the wheel cover to complete the spiral pattern;a first spiral pattern on an exterior side of the first rigid thin disc, the removable portion being part of the spiral pattern; anda first set of dual detachable interlocking fastener means having a static shear and tensile weight of approximately 500 to approximately 1000 grams per square inch for holding the first disc to the wheel hub while the vehicle travels through speeds of approximately 140 mph, wherein the first disc stays on the wheel hub and forms a moving spiral pattern while the vehicle is moving in a forward direction.
