Problems with center caps on my Kahn wheels.

Just installed the Kahn wheels on my RRS and bought new 2010 caps.
The outer ring fits perfrectly, but they just dont snap in. They fall right off. Any solution for that?
The hole on the rim si I guess 55mm but the cap is for 48mm.
I cannt source any caps but need them.
Also contacted KAHN and this is what they told me.

Hello and thanks for your query. The Land Rover wheels are designed to take the original Land Rover caps. Thanks again for your query.

This still is not right. Sad 91 BMW 850CSI

I have the same center caps on my shelf and they dont fit. The clips are to small, but the all cap is fine. The hole on the wheels is to big :/

Well, the Kahn wheels are marked pretty well on the inside so I would say they are genuin.
The caps are also genuin. 91 BMW 850CSI

So it is ok, to use a hot gun glue?
Isnt there no problem getting them off later? 91 BMW 850CSI

awesome, I just got a pair of these for £300 that were refurbed by my friend, they just need new caps. So What did you do in the end? I'd like to get the right size of cap for these.
