I gave up on the stainless steel copies for the T-100 and went with 1970s GM stainless knock-on covers.They're a bugger to get installed but don't make a peep and stay 'glued' to the rims.
Perhaps some steel wheels are more robust than ones I've lived with.All of mine deform as they roll,stressing the covers.
Glad you're having better service than I.
Oh, mine make noise. They go click-click-click as they rotate, and have since day one. But they are tight and take a good effort to install or remove. So, I haven't lost one yet, but who knows how long it will last for.

We don't get cold enough to salt the roads here, so rust is typically not a big issue in spite of all the rain.
