I have aftermarket rims I'm going to be putting my MM soon. The oem center caps almost fit but are a little to big. Is there an easy way to disable oem center caps so I can maybe liquid nail or epoxy them on top of the center caps that came with the new rims. Dont want to break oem face just maybe an easy way to remove spring backing, and what glue would be best used for application..any ideas?

You can pry the cap off of the back retainer, use a putty knife between the cap and gray plastic retainer.

That's what I did with my 20" wheels, just pry the centers off of the backing as mentioned and you will be good to go! I used plastic weld putty to secure mines to the new backing.

If both surfaces are plastic suggest a plastic only glue.
