An improved wheel cover for large commercial vehicle trailers is disclosed. It includes simple and robust mechanism for attachment with the wheel, facilitates easy installation and removal, and provides better aerodynamics and fuel efficiency during travel. In a preferred embodiment, an annular flexible shell cover (covering an annular magnet) of the wheel cover, deforms and frictionally fits into hollow of a corresponding wheel flange, and the annular magnet (lying under the shell cover) keeps the shell cover magnetically attached (with a strong magnetic bonding) with the flange. Hence, in addition to the magnetic bonding, the installed wheel cover is held in place by a friction fitting between the shell cover and the flange. The outer side of the wheel cover can either be kept planar or curved, and its surface can be dimpled or smooth.
