Keeping wheel simulators on

I have a class C on a 2007 Chev workhorse chassis, with the 16 in steel rims and duallies on back. On a recent trip I lost both a front and a rear wheel simulator. These are the stainless steel snap in kind. In my search to replace them, I have found that there are also available some bolt on models, where 4 lug nuts need to be removed to take the wheel cover on or off.

Any advice on which is best? The snap on is easy and cheaper but I don't want to keep replacing them. Any tricks to keeping them on?

Also, any advice on where to buy? I have found several on ebay.

Finally, last question: Are these a pretty well a universal fit? Have Chev rims changed much from 2000 to now?

Thanks
Class C

    I replaced mine with wheel liners purchased at Summit Racing - they look nice, not too expensive, and don't fall off.

    I had the same problem on my 2002 Ford E450 BigFoot when on a trip to Quartzite I lost all four simulators and now think that I will just paint the wheels white and get some chrome lug nut covers to add a little bling and call it good.
