I used a no-epoxy design in mine where the T-Nut spikes just "grab" the inside of the plastic lug nut :

However, this requires that I screw the bolt onto the plastic lug nut *before* I take the lug nut off. Otherwise the T-Nut will fall out when I take off the plastic lug nut.

How well do those plastic lug nut caps hold onto the lug nuts? Also when you take them off, do you unscrew each of the 4 screws and then take the plastic caps off, or just pry the tray and plastic caps off as one unit?

And finally, where the heck can I buy some?
