Xpower Green wheel center caps

I am trying to replace my existing MG TF wheel center caps on my 16inches 11 spokes wheels.



I found this, which is exactly what I wanted and the right external diameter to fit in the wheel center recess.

Problem is I don’t want to glue them on the existing caps. The existing caps are flush and don’t look out, so quite nice and not easy to steal hopefully. Gluing anyting on it that would look out wouldn’t last 30min down here...




So I have to take the existing caps out and find something clever. I could glue the Xpower green bits directly on the wheels, with a back plate to make it flush, but gluing it on the tiny recess wouldn’t last for long. It is therefore that center caps have a kind of spring mechanism to hold them firm in place.



So I am looking for a proper but very basic and cheap wheel center cap that is COMPATIBLE with the inside part of my 16 inches 11 spokes wheels (so it stays firm on it). I would then rework it on its top face so that I could glue on it the Xpower logo to make it flush with the wheels (or slightly inside, but not looking outside). Colour of the center cap is non relevant as wouldn’t be visible anyway.



Any idea what center cap could fit ? Has this been done before ?





If too much hassle might aswell stick to current MG caps but as the car has green stripes these center caps would fit nicely… provided a suitable robust solution can be found.



Many thanks !
