    Replace push-on wheel covers with bolt ons?

    Hi. I've got a 2015 Polo, and every so often the wheel covers pop off. They are the push-on covers. I have had to replace two previously when they came off, and a third just came off in the last few days.

    I'm kind of over the push-on covers, as they don't seem to stay on. The last two I replaced through the dealer, and they're not cheap.

    I was hoping that I could find a set of 4 covers that are bolt-on instead of push-on. I'm not familiar with what's out there, but has anyone done this before? I'd rather have some that are fixed on securely.

    Thanks for any info or advice

    Just go around corners slower and they wont pop off. Had a Mini that used to do it every time on one corner only. Slowed down 10kph and it stayed on LOL

        What about sourcing some used genuine alloy wheels? Gumtree or fb marketplace has a few sets of 15/16" wheels for only a couple hundred dollars....you won't have the problem of missing hubcaps and it may improve the look of the car [emoji106]
