The spinner cap is a device intended to enhance the appearance of an automotive wheel by giving a visual effect of a slowly rotating wheel even when the vehicle is no longer in motion. To accomplish this, the device includes a unique arrangement of parts including a spinner, a spindle, a bearing, and a cap base. The spindle connects the spinner to the bearing. The bearing enables the spinner to rotate independently of the cap base. When fully assembled, the cap base is inserted into the center bore of the wheel and secured by a plurality of spring clips that engage with the center bore. Once in place, the cap base rotates with the wheel and the spinner freely rotates independently of the wheel's rotation.
