It happened on a set of Sub Zero's (with the flat style caps). I just took a Dremol tool and ground the ridges on the back of the caps flat and then some ~ concave (and slapped them on hard with some clear silicon) ~ and Viola! Been there ever since. This was on an '05 fitment!

How about some pictures of your new wheels, with or without the caps.

I don't use them, never have. But get the right caps and just put them away in a safe place incase you ever sell the wheels.
