I had the fake plastic ones and they would fall all the time.  My temporary fix was clear silicone; easy on - easy off....
 
My permanent fix was a used set of originals from eBay.
It took a rubber hammer to get them in, I know there not coming off now.

Big Fish, Please forgive my late response, I just returned from the coast.We've been gone for three days. Three hours away. My daughter was in an auto accident over spring break and we ran to be with her.Five girls returning from Mexico in the worst rain storms in several decades, in a one car roll over. No blood lost, no broken bones ( thank God!),she will recover in time. what I have are the hub cap style metal lug nut covers for the rally wheels, in good condition if my memory serves me.I'll report to this post in the next few days for lack of more direct sorce of communication. Otherwise, I'm at aceinthehole49@comcast.net

Jim, I, too hope your daughter and her friends are all OK. Somebody must have been looking out for them!! Glad to hear there was no serious injuries!!

My caps(for the ralley rims) are also only installed with a rubber mallet. I can get them off by getting my fingers under the edge, and pulling, but I just can't see one falling off on its own.
