center cap

Hub's decorative cover

A center cap is the decorative cover that fits over the hub of a wheel, concealing the lug nuts and axle.

Most are plastic or metal discs bearing the vehicle manufacturer's logo.

They serve no structural purpose but give wheels a finished appearance: One of my center caps fell off on the highway.
