A road vehicle alloy wheel 1 has at least one through-hole 7. A decorative and/or aerodynamic wheel trim component 5 has at least one aperture (12, Fig. 4). A removable fastener (13, Fig. 5; or 113, Fig. 6) is provided for each aperture, the fastener having a head (14, 114) and a body (15, 115). The head is sized to prevent it passing through the wheel through-hole and the body is capable, in use, of being inserted forward through aperture 12 into the through-hole. In use the body expands after passing through the aperture, driven by pin 16 or screw 117, to secure the trim component to the wheel. The pin or screw may be withdrawn so as to contract the body, allowing the trim component 5 to be removed from the wheel 1. Figs. 8 to 10 show trim components mounted in spokes.
