Jay, maybe you should just drive around with no center caps then put them in when you go to a meet or a photoshoot.

That's really unfortunate that there are people out there stealing the center caps off you're rims. Goodluck with the whole situation man!

Agreed, sounds like someone is stealing your caps. Scumbags.

I think it's time to move on and run with no center caps at all in all seriously.

Use this old trick... Silicone

A little silicone to hold them on in addition to them being pressed in does wonders; clear silicone is unseen, easy to clean off and easy to remove when needed. I do that with the center caps that cover my lugnuts.
