This invention relates to a wheel clamp and method of fitment. The wheel clamp comprises a clamp body (12) and first, second and third arms (50, 60). Each of the arms has a radial portion (52, 62) and an axial portion (54, 64), at least one of the arms having a return radial portion (56, 66). The arms are securable at predetermined positions relative to the clamp body (12), ideally separated by around 120°. The second and third arms (60) are each releasably mounted to the clamp body by way of at least one mushroom-headed pin (20) locatable in a keyhole aperture (72). In this way the second and third arms can be assembled to the clamp body whilst the first arm and clamp body are supported by the wheel to which the wheel clamp is fitted, and the weight of the wheel clamp which must be supported and manipulated by the user is reduced.
