I'm fed up of replacing the centres on 15ins rims , the centres are the 3 part twist on off type, has anyone any tips to keep them on rims I'm thinking of keeping them off , such a shame cause wheels look ugly without!

It's very common for low life to steal the centre caps. It used to happen all the time when the E30s were a modern car.

Fortunately they can be replaced for about £80 a set.

Take them off if you worried they are going to get nicked, put them on when your driving... Seems like a pain in the arse but atleast you wont have to fork out £25 a pop each time one goes missing... The more expensive option would be to move away from where ever your living at the moment. :mad:

As above really, coat it in clear wax or oil so it will delay the theif, dont think many will carry a spanner with them. I hate theives.
