Default Are other people losing Ronal center caps?

Over the past 6 months that I have owned the Ronal LZ wheels, I managed to lose 6 center caps. Gary @ Ronal sent me 2 spare ones, but even those were quickly gone. This all in normal highway driving, since I have track wheels...

What am I doing wrong? Gary just sent me a cynical response... How do you keep the center caps on the wheels?<p>Stan

Default 17K miles on R-28s and R-7s - no problems

I've had both the black "carbon look" Ronal caps and the factory Audi caps - with zero problems. The two sets of wheels take different size caps. Not meaning to be a wise guy, but is there any chance you might have the wrong size caps? They're pretty close.

Default Center caps are often stolen!

There's quite the trend out there, especially w. teenagers, who like to "collect" centercaps off different wheels. It is an ongoing problem, however, it's better than stealing wheels...which has become outmoded with the ease of stealing an entire car.
We do have centercaps available,at a minimal cost, just in case. Sometimes, they're even free, right Stan?
