Default Hubcaps departing 16" Fuchs!

After tyre changes I have lost first one and then a second hubcap from the left side 16" Fuchs following spirited drives. I checked all three after the first departed and they seemed tight, but.... I have replacements, but is there some trick to their installation other than just to press them in? I do not want to lose more.

I’ve done a couple wraps of electrical tape around the lip of the cap, seemed to hold better

By the way, hubcaps are for steel wheels and wheel caps are for alloy wheels. The title had me scratching my head.
