Are you just losing the cap for the bearing buddy? Or the whole thing?
Unless this is a boat trailer that gets submerged you may not want to use the buddies anyway so I recommend a cover without the little access. If you must use the buddy just remove the whole thing.

I eventually moved to aluminum wheels when one of my steelys cracked. Chrome lug nuts and just a center cap that does not go on the lugs. No buddies on mine so no access needed.

Do you really need or want those?

First time I had the wheels off our fiver for service, I removed those covers and stuck them in a storage shed. They add a marginal appearance factor, which isn't worth the hassle. No one would even notice really. Ours are aluminum wheels and a different style, but same in practice.

I kept them as the next owner someday might want them. Probably should just toss them out if I ever dig them out again.

Thanks for the responses. Tires are balanced and when I put the center caps on I use a rubber hammer to "pop" them on. I am at a loss. At this point I have removed the ones that were still on. As far as my lug nuts, they are just like any other ones as far as I know. And the center caps are made of black plastic. Thanks again for the responses.

Mine are plastic, but chrome finished. I have never had one come loose. In fact, it is hard to pull them off, due to being slippery. When installing, mine seem to not quite fit, needing a bump to pop them on. If yours just slip on/off easily, you might try a different brand.

I suppose it is possible, that your lug nuts are not the right design for using those caps.

Tires not balanced?
