Make sure you clean the wheel's surface good first, to make sure that there's no wax, grease, etc. on them.

wheel caps
So over the last few years i have slowly lost my wheel caps on my '82 vette. The damn things never seemed snug on there in the first place. I just ordered a new set of 4 from wilcox and was wondering if there is anytrick to getting them to stay on better??

I use 2 very small dabs of clear epoxy on mine, one dab across from the other. The stuff I have looks like clear shoe goo, comes in a big silver metal tube. When I press the cap on I turn it to smear the epoxy a little. They do require a good pull when you have to take them off but none have run away from me yet and they have been on a year with approx 1K+ miles.
