The size of a can vary a lot. Generally 2 inches to 10 inches is the normal size of the diameter of a . It was in the early years of the 20th century that hub caps came into use. In the early years of its inception, the hub caps were fitted into place like a snap through the use of clips that were built on the caps' rear side.
And how did these caps stay in their places? These caps used a force fit system that helped them to stay put in their respective places. The problem with center caps that are held on to place by clips is that they get easily dislodged by a good bump and get flung off when you hit a speed breaker with great momentum.
Many times it has been seen that a centercap has fallen off from your car wheels and is bouncing down the road while you speed off! Imagine your consternation when you have to stop the car and run back to fetch the hubcap in scorching heat or pelting rain or in snowstorms!
The newer versions (1970-80s) of often used fake plastic lug nuts. The latter can be screwed down to the real lug nuts. They also hold the hub and the wheelcaps together. However, there is a problem with this system.
There are plastic threads attached to these caps which get entangled very easily and become criss crossed. As a result they can't put any pressure on the cap and so the centercap can easily fall off and jounce along the road beside your speeding car!
