Aluminum wheel center cap

[Frank K.]

What is the proper way to secure the center cap (Plastic) to the rim? These are factory Aluminum wheels that came with the car but the third center cap I have lost. Any help would be appreciated.

It just snaps in. The tabs can be fragile though, so make sure it's not 'cocked' when popping it on.

They normally just snap in, but caps with some age on them may come off so I used some RTV around the lip, but not so much that it comes out onto the wheel. Black would be the best choice for color with the black center section.
