My KIA came with the wheel covers that are held on by the tire lug bolts.
Tho the lugs are tight, the covers are loose, with about 1/2" play ( back and forth )
They rattle when I go over bumps.... and besides that, loose wheel covers just don't seem right.
Dealer sez; "NTF" ( no trouble found )
I'm wondering if i'm missing some sort of lock-washer under each lug......
Any one els having problems with loose wheel covers ?

I haven't had a car with bolted-on wheel covers for a while (1979), but they had springs on the backside of the cover to pressure it against the lug nuts.
My 06 spectra has those little gripper teeth / fingers on the outer edge of the wheel covers that grip the steel wheels. They are firmly on like a real wheel cover but not as tight.
