wheels and hubcaps

I have the 82 TA wheels like Knight rider, but i can't keep the blowing ball hub caps on .already lost one so i took the others off.

Is there any other hubcap that will snap onto these wheels ?

Re: wheels and hubcaps

I drilled holes in the box tabs and ran UV Zip ties through them and around the fins...

They've stayed on at 100+ MPH, no problems

Here are where the holes that I drilled are...

Disregard the bottom right one (I got dot happy)

I ended up using 10 zip ties per wheel (more than usual) but less stress on all the plastic. If you take the wheel off and run the zip tie through (I had like 14 inch ones) the zipties end up lying flat against the fins & snug. Clip off excess..
