Re: original rims
On those particular rims, I'm preeetty sure the center caps have tabs that hold them to the lug nuts..

Re: original rims
The center caps are held in place by a spring clip ring thingy (yeah, very technical name I know) that sits inside the cap. The unfortunate thing is that these caps attach differently than the similar alloy-looking ones
