A wheel cover assembly for a vehicle wheel may include a cover body having a cover body outer surface, a cover body inner surface, and a cover body outer edge having an outer diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of a stiffener rib extending inward from an inner surface of the wheel rim and less than an inner diameter of an open end flange of the wheel rim. The wheel cover assembly may further include a cover mounting mechanism operatively connected to the cover body and having a locking position wherein the cover mounting mechanism engages the stiffener rib when the cover body inner surface is facing and engaging the stiffener rib and a cover locking position wherein the cover mounting mechanism engages the stiffener rib to secure the wheel cover assembly to the vehicle wheel.
