So you concentrated the heat towards the outer portion of the cap away from the wheel, correct? Did you apply the head while the cap was in place, and then apply pressure, or did you heat it up without it being mounted? I'm wondering how quick you have to be once you get it heated up.
Am I seeing burns in the chrome finish or just reflection?

Thanks again

I slowly heated to cap with the heat gun on low from the inside. I test fitted it several times as I heated it until it was soft enough to slip on. Once the caps flange bottomed out on the wheel I just let it cool there. The chrome did not discolor but you can see some minor imperfections from the stretching.

Thank you again, I'm going to give it a try. I'm surprised the longer one blew off with the two screws holding them in, any chance one of the screws might have vibrated out, were they still screwed into the wheel when you found your cap missing?
