Any suggestions for fixing loose center caps? They just seem to spin and are loose. Is this common? I have 3 that are loose and one that is not. Hoping to find a solution before I loose 'em. Quite 'spensive from what I see if and when you do find 'em.

Pull 'em off and wrap a couple rounds of tape around the outside of the tabs and then press them back in, should take care of the problem.

remove them, remove the metal ring, heat the plastic fingers up and spread them out a little. put the metal ring back on and pop them back in. should work great
