have you had you tires changed or rotate or anything...i had new rear tires put on the other day and had this problem..one of the caps was real lose when they put the tire back on and when i said something they got all defensive and said you saw us take them off....I went over and looked at them and then just swapped sides with the caps...turned out they just liked to stay on the same wheels...for some reason the tolerances are just a hair different on each wheel...weird huh..otherwise the double sided tape thing would prob work

Well I have found that it only on two of my wheels, the other two are snug as hell. I will try the double sided tape thing, i was thinking about trying something like that it just seems so ghetto.

Well I have swapped them. But I came up with a pretty good idea. I first put a strip of electrical tape on the back where the center cap holds the wheel, then one more piece of the electrical tape rolled on itself so its sticky on each side, then one more strip of electrical tape. Ghetto but no one can see it and it holds the center caps on there EXTREMELY tight. It's perfect......if you guys have this same problem and get tired of trying to swap center caps. Try this method, it works.
