I had the same problem.
I bought a big bottle of Blue Loktight and dabbed 4-5 spots on the inside of the rim and hubcap after cleaning the inside tire. No problems since but needs re-application after servicing. |

The amount you're spending to replace them, you'd be halfway to getting a set of alloys.

Plastic Hubcaps
in 25$ if you want i can send you a duffle bag full of Plastic hub caps everytime you lose one, slap this plastic cap on & your good to go, best part is you can color them & put a different color/sticker everytime

I have some racing disc caps that I use with my snows, and kept loosing 1 wheel in particular. A thin bead of black silicon auto sealer helps to keep it on all Winter. (blends in with the steel rim and tire)
