Can wheel trims (proper oem ones) be fitted on top of bottle tops ?
It`s the steel trims in this post.

They're designed to clip directly to the steel rims. You may be lucky to clip them straight to a bottle top but it's unlikely.

I tried caps on my winter wheels then went for the all black look in the end but they where steels so not really the same conundrum that you have.
