There are 3 components to the full chrome set-up.

A flat plate that clips over the hub
A smaller flat plug which presses into the centre of the larger plate, locking the clips onto the groove in the end of the hub
A larger "rim embelisher" which fits round the circumference of the wheel, and has a cutaway slot for the tyre valve.

Several different styles have been produced. One earlier version is not so attractive I think, having moulded plates instead of flat.
