IML: hubcap keeps falling off

[canu di bona <ccdibona@xxxxxxxxx>]

My rear passenger hub cap keeps flying off like a top
everytime I get past 20 mph.  I have replaced it
twice.  Initially it seems to pop on tight enough, but
sure enough I see it fly off the road in my rear view
mirror or hear that sickening metal to pavement.  I
now travel around without it and it's embarrasing
because without the cap the car looks incomplete and
pitifull.  Despite the gleaming paint and perfect
chrome, without the cap, it looks like junk.  
What can I do to ensure this doesn't continue?  I
tried two of the other original caps and they do not
fit snugly.  I hate to mess with the rim itself and
deal with balancing issues.  I may just swap tires on
the spare rim and hope it does the trick.  What about
the cap itself.  I have only one spare left and need
it to work.  Is there any alterations to this cap I
can do to ensure a tight grip?

Thanks for a great web site and all those dedicated to
Imperials.
