A wheel cap (3), comprising: an inner side, for attaching the wheel cap to a wheel rim (2) of a wheel; a peripheral edge (33), coaxial with a central axis (A) of the wheel cap; an outer face (32), opposite to the inner side, wherein the outer face is delineated by the peripheral edge and comprises a peripheral portion (34) and a central portion (35), centered on the central axis; and openings (37, 38, 39), connecting the peripheral portion to the inner side. The outer face is concave, so that: the central portion is recessed inwards relative to the peripheral portion along the central axis; and the peripheral portion is recessed inwards relative to the peripheral edge along the central axis.
