A road vehicle wheel trim system has a trim component or insert 5, 28 (Fig. 5) for fitment to a wheel 1, 21; and a retainer (31, Fig. 9) for the insert. The insert has a multi-toothed male 9 or female fitting, and the retainer has a mating female or male fitting. The fittings may be fir tree fittings. The two fittings are connected in a through-hole 7is, 7os, 7i, 7o, 27is, 27os in a road vehicle wheel to fasten the trim component to the wheel. The retainer may define a female fitting and may be moulded as two components connected by live hinges which pivot together in use. The retainer has a head 35 sized to prevent it passing through the through-hole. The head may be arranged to be partly removable to enable the insert to be removed from the wheel.
