It might help to post a picture of the hubcap in question.
Many motorhomes have "wheel simulators" that are held on by two of the lug nut caps while the remaining six are fakes. Typically the two real ones have a little dimple or other subtle mark on them, and of course are removed simply by unscrewing them from the wheel stud. I find it's easier to tell the real nuts from the fakes by lightly tapping with a wrench handle or whatever and listening to whether it goes tink or tunk rather than trying to discern the dimpled end. The front ones are similar.
There are other sorts of hub caps or wheel covers, however.
