To be honest... Here's what I've done for that problem. Go to Home Depot/Lowes and find some basic rubber o rings. Almost any size that's close can be stretched around the center cap. I've also ran a bead of silicone around the o ring groove and let it totally dry then put the cap on. It's worked in a pinch a few times and it's also fairly easy to clean off after you get more o rings.

If you find a place that sells the wheels you can usually contact them and they'll sell you some caps.
I've done that before. Just went to ebay and found my wheels, then sent the person an email. got 4 new caps for my truck for like $25

vicious he's not looking for the caps themselves. Centerline wheels have press in center caps that have a groove towards the base. There is an o ring that sits in that groove that makes the cap have a tight fit so it doesnt fall out. The o rings that come with them tend to dry out and break very easily for whatever reason. He just needs to replace that o ring to put the cap in.

Yea you have to make sure they're pretty thick o rings. We've got some here at work that I've used before that gave the caps a nice tight fit.

I think I have some new ones still in the package from my old wheels. PM me. I could send them through the mail to you. For free.
