I've got new new wheels that are waiting for summer rubber. I've purchased the Union Jack wheel caps P/N T2R5513 from welsh enterprises on eBay (for less than $15 for the set).
I've noticed that they spin freely when installed. Does anyone have any tips for keeping them from spinning? It didn't seem that hard to remove them by hand by pushing on the inside of the wheel cap with the wheel off.
I've had the same issue with after-market centre caps on my XFS and XFR, the mounting tangs often work out to be about 1 mm short in width to fit nice and tight.
The solution for me has been to take the caps off and wrap the mounting tangs in electrical tape, just one "round" of tape around the tangs. Nice tight fit, no more wobble or turning.

I have had the same problem and usually wrap a bit of tape around. Actually, the ones on the wheels now have no tape, as I thought I'd see what would happen without it. So far, nothing untoward ! I usually get through a set of these each year as they don't survive winters very well, the polished aluminium surface corrodes and won't polish up well. They're very cheap on the internet, anyway.
