Could you go into a little more detial on how to fit them perfectly. My duck tape and adhesive felt methods, hah, definitly are a short term solution to the issue with fittament.
Well, I'm not going to say my fitment method was the most graceful or exact, but it worked perfectly for me. These caps fit in the opening easily enough, but are VERY loose. They spin around and rattle badly and have a 1/4 inch open gap.
I thought about it, and decided that I didn't have much to loose if I ruined them. I just happened to have a miniture propane torch(a cigarette lighter would also work). I gently heated the clips until slightly pliable. I then bent them outward slightly. This easily solved the loose fitment problem. However, there was still a very slight 1/16 inch gap still present. I then came to the conclusion that the metal tension ring was no longer needed to help retain the cap. So, I placed it around the outside of the cap at the base. This filled in the remaining gap and even allows for a groove to remove the caps without removing the wheels.
I hope this helps.
