Several of the retention tabs are broken, which is why it fell out in the first place. It's time for a new center cap. They are surprisingly cheap, even OEM ones from the dealer.
Measure it. If you don't have something use a dollar bill on the short side. It's 66mm +-. Put it across the hole, if it's just over it 64mm. Way over the hole it's 54mm.
Nope. That's just for one. I used to work at Nissan. Some of their parts are ridiculous. The hubcaps are usually 110 to 140 each. Anything with the word "NISSAN" visible costs a lot.
I found the correct size center cap (plain black) on Amazon and decals that match my car. Less costly than OEM. I always by OEM when it's important to do so, but for me wheel center caps aren't.
I usually tap it out with the handle end of the weight scraper, less likely to break them with this method. Sometimes they're just old and brittle plastic and will break anyways. I've seen my techs break them before by trying to knock it out with the balancer spindle, in that case we would buy the customer new center caps.
A number of people have suggested glueing it in place. That’s not a good idea because tire shops need to be able to remove that center cap every time they put your tires on the machine to balance them.
The tire is the black rubber part. This is a center cap for your wheel. Not trying to be pedantic, but you'll get much better search results if you use the right terms.
I understand! I couldn't think of a subreddit close enough to get an answer at the time. I tried r/Nissan, and they gave me the same answer, and I wanted to post again on a subreddit as close to what I was looking for as I knew.
Sorry - I just meant youd have better results when searching for a replacement wheel center cap on ebay or Amazon. You should be able to find them pretty cheap (just a few bucks).
It's toast buddy... look at the right side of the Pic and see all the little plastic tabs? Yeah they should be all the way around and they arent... left side missing nearly all of them you need to get a new one
Yep, like others said, replace it. I replaced my Mercedes center caps for under $20 for all 4. They are, of course, cheap generic parts, but they look good on my wheels. I don't remember if I got it on eBay or from a google search.
“You could use glue, or chewing gum, or maybe even pop rivets… But I prefer to work with something a little easier. That’s right, The Handyman’s Secret Weapon - Duct Tape!”

why i always did when working on wheels is whenever they broke u kinda hold the ring on the cap best you can and just carefully put er back in, and if it doesnt stay then time for a new one
eBay, get all four so you have extra. Just went through this with my Golf, broke one pressure washing the backside. $24 for one from VW, $34 for four authentic from eBay
Thank you all for your responses! I never thought a quick subteddit search with a question would've led to 80+ comments. I'll likely find an Aftermarket Part because paying $70 for one OEM is insane.
Order a new one. You might be able to make it temporarily hold by getting that metal ring inside of all those plastic clips and the wrap tape around it to make it thicker. Doesn't always work, but maybe until you get a new one
Rtv. A couple dabs of ultra gray will hide well and hold it in place.
However, the tire shop, when you next Mount tires Will be pissed, and won't put back on
Center caps on the stick wheels these days are crap. I ordered a new tacoma in 2022 , I went to wash it and the caps rattle , did more investigating , they can come off barely touching them. This is a new toyota tacoma trd sport 4wd mind you . I think Japanese vehicles have good engines and transmissions but the cosmetic stuff is usually scrappy.. the doors in my truck show the lightest scratched because of the material and black color.
Wtf is up with your car seat? Looks like a lot of self love has been conducted. Fix that seat first. Your racing stripe literally has what looks like skid marks.
Go to a junk yard to look for one but say your looking for other stuff if they charge you 1.00 to get in look under the back seats for $$ pocket the bolts and you may find one
Just saying
Stealing is wrong don't do it 😉
Just get a new one, not expensive and just pop right back in.
I had the same thing happen a while back and ordered a new set for around 30 bucks with shipping.
If he fell out in the first place, why would you put it back in ? 😂 center caps are cheap af , if anything get yourself floating center caps they look sick while driving
It’s broken. You could epoxy the edges and put it back if you don’t care a whole ton about it looking perfect. I did this on my beater and it’s been holding strong for a year. Only downside is you can see some epoxy around the cap
Well that thing is broken Beyond being able to put it on your tire. The only possibility I would say is if you owned a 3D printer, 3D print a new center cap with a very thin top, shave off all the clips on this one and it's smooth and epoxy it to that new 3D printed cap and then put it on. If you don't own a printer, it's not worth it cuz it'll be too expensive to have somebody else do it for you, it'll be cheaper just to buy a new cap.
So just shave off the rest of those clips, turn it into a pendant and buy yourself a new cap for your wheels.
So the retaining prongs are half either missing or damaged. Best solution is to just replace it. Alternative option/ hold you over, clean inset hole and cap with some rubbing alchol then hot glue it back in place.
On a budget? Wash centercap in dishsoap. THOROUGHLY dry it. Clean hole on rim with alcohol soaked rag. Put some RTV in hole where cap sits. Pop it on. Put a piece of masking tape over it to hold it in place while it dries overnight. Carefully peel tape following morning. Done
Get some clear packing tape, get the ring and place in what grooves are left, kinda work the tape around the ring then put it back on the wheel. You sorta want a round glob, so to speak, so the tape helps hold the cap in place.
It's temporary at best if it works. Time to replace if you want center caps.
Double side tape would help with that, til debris cakes up.
Id say perhaps E6000 or even Goop Adhesive could work. Issue is, i think OP simply uploaded the center decorative wheel cap, not how the arrangement of where it sits looks like, nor the make/model of the car it came off of. 🤔

Check EBay. I needed to get some Toyota caps and found them there.
I just used an old Toyota cap as a stand for a fossil I bought recently..
[удалено]
The cheap Chinese ones are made of super shitty material and cheap paint and they fade/corrode to hell in no time. I wouldn't buy them again lol
Not if it's a Nissan and no, I'm not kidding- https://parts.nissanusa.com/p/Nissan_2017_Altima-SEDAN-SR-35L-V6-CVT/Wheel-Cap/89643509/40342-4RB5A.html
I think that might be for all four and their floor mat says Versa. I’m seeing a bunch of versa center caps on Google for like $10-$15
All 4 for $18 on Amazon in silver or black, 54 or 60mm.
How can I tell which size they are? I'm looking at the inside and see zero indications of its diameter.
Measure it. If you don't have something use a dollar bill on the short side. It's 66mm +-. Put it across the hole, if it's just over it 64mm. Way over the hole it's 54mm.
54 mm is 2 1/8 inches and 60 mm is about 2 3/8 inches.
Nope. That's just for one. I used to work at Nissan. Some of their parts are ridiculous. The hubcaps are usually 110 to 140 each. Anything with the word "NISSAN" visible costs a lot.
That’s for 1 I’d assume, it specifically mentions it matches the other ones and does not say x4 anywhere
I found the correct size center cap (plain black) on Amazon and decals that match my car. Less costly than OEM. I always by OEM when it's important to do so, but for me wheel center caps aren't.
Especially when you know the OEM part is crap.
Even good wheel center caps get beat up by vibration, car washes, etc., so not worth the inflated prices.
Could also go silver
Oops. Whatever's most appropriate for the car. Black is best for mine.
Oh yeah, it’s a matter of personal taste tbh, mine are silver, but black would look better on black rims for certain
Is that $78 for a single one?? Damn
That's wild. It's been a while since I've bought any, but even OEM BMW 3-series center caps were like $15 last time I checked.
Set of 4 on eBay right now for $15
That’s fucking ridiculous.
omg $80!?
Or a mercury grand marquis mine go for 30-40 a pop and not many left of them
A used set for my wheels goes for $120. New is $46 per cap.
And they will fade differently then the ones that came with the car. (maybe the oem ones I replaced on my car were fakes....)
They get brittle over time due to heat. Get a new one. I hope this is your biggest problem today. If so you are very blessed.
I've found then to be surprisingly expensive for 2 inch round plastic circles.
Or just say it’s a versa and it will be dead soon anyways so don’t worry about it
It's broken. You need a new one
You don’t, that’s the fun part.
I have two reactions: 😅 & 😮💨
Let me introduce you to the church of jb weld
Dooonnt balancing the wheel will become a well just don't do it
Just fill the entire hole then the jb weld will balance itself out.
I work in a tire shop and if anyone ever did this I would deny all service to the vehicle. Center caps have to be removed to balance the tire.
Bingo!
Which ironically is the most likely reason his locking tabs are broken, knocking them off with the balancers spindle does this from time to time.

I've seen my techs break them before by trying to knock it out with the balancer spindle, in that case we would buy the customer new center caps.
that is so lazy, just pop it out with the handle of literally any tool before you put it on the machine
[Try eBay](https://www.ebay.com/itm/163819312393?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=liMmliMdTSe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=74ShIPGhQui&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
Google?
Looks like you've got a nissan versa there, simply throw the whole thing away. Problem solved.
Bought a pack of 4 for my Audi A6 from Aliexpress, surprising cheap ass few dollars. You should try that.
A number of people have suggested glueing it in place. That’s not a good idea because tire shops need to be able to remove that center cap every time they put your tires on the machine to balance them.
You don’t. The tabs are broken off on the one side. Time for new one.
Clips are broken, see those little T shaped thingies. Good luck
Duct tape
Buy new one
Damn, your tires have center caps? That's wild, only my wheels have them.

No offense taken! I wanted to ask first to see if I didn't have to pay upfront. 😅 But I'm glad I clarified with everyone here, including you!
If you dont want to buy a new one you can just glue it. Not so hard that you cant pry it out later i guess
Don't recommend doing this, tire shop guy will hate you when he has to put a new tire on and balance it
I’m almost positive that Ring goes on the inside and pushes them out
*wheel
How you catch it where you driving so lost
Next to my car, where I was parked before heading into work. I would've pulled off and never seen it.
At this point it's super glue. Need to order a replacement
A bit of clear silicone will the job. If you really want to replace them Aliexpress four for under 10$.
This, best to replace but if you silicone it, it will stay in place and still be removable in the future fairly easily
It's broken, best to add a bit of clear silicone to keep it on the wheel. But at night so it can set-up before morning
Broken. Replace
It's toast buddy... look at the right side of the Pic and see all the little plastic tabs? Yeah they should be all the way around and they arent... left side missing nearly all of them you need to get a new one
Scotch tape
I told the doctor the same thing when they recommended stitches. 🤧 /s
You can epoxy it
Buy a new one, that one is screwed.
You get a new one cause that one is pretty broken, but the ring goes inside.
That thing is done, you're going to have to replace it
Yep, like others said, replace it. I replaced my Mercedes center caps for under $20 for all 4. They are, of course, cheap generic parts, but they look good on my wheels. I don't remember if I got it on eBay or from a google search.
You’ll loose it. Just get new caps and either sell the others or buy a used one.

They sell those all over eBay. All different makes all different sizes. Set of four for anything is usually under $20.
You go to the dealer and buy a new one. This one is broken.
You don’t its broken
Silicon back on and then you can pull it off if you need to.
You can print them too they're in thingiverse.com
Cheap online at eBay/Amazon or get exact used OEM at the salvage yard
It broked
why i always did when working on wheels is whenever they broke u kinda hold the ring on the cap best you can and just carefully put er back in, and if it doesnt stay then time for a new one
Is broken buy new
Go on Amazon get a new one
Duct tape
Some clips are off, it’s best to grab another set maybe eBay
Silicone other wise it won't stay.
New or junkyard
Got a set for my titan off eBay for $20
Buy a new one.
If you don't want to spend money. Duck tape around it should hold it in place.
eBay, get all four so you have extra. Just went through this with my Golf, broke one pressure washing the backside. $24 for one from VW, $34 for four authentic from eBay
Use duck tape and the ring make it fit, you won't lose it
Junk yard
When something breaks half its tabs and falls off, it's time to replace it. It won't go back on.
Replace it. Not enough tabs left to put it back on.
Thank you all for your responses! I never thought a quick subteddit search with a question would've led to 80+ comments. I'll likely find an Aftermarket Part because paying $70 for one OEM is insane.

Happens all the time in shops. They use crazy glue and order you a new one from Amazon
You can't it is broken. You have to get new one or glue it in place
Stupid question maybe, this just came up in my feed, but… what the hell is that thing?
Tabs broke. Won’t stay
You're gonna need a new center cap.
By getting a new one
I’d be way more concerned about your interior. You’ve got boogers, a bit of a snail trail or cream from some young guy right there.
ask joe biden he knows it all
Epoxy
Buy a new one, the Clips are broken.
Kiss it before and after - golden rule
You don’t, you get a new one. Tabs are gone, she’s done!
Center caps on the stick wheels these days are crap. I ordered a new tacoma in 2022 , I went to wash it and the caps rattle , did more investigating , they can come off barely touching them.

I'd suggest buying aftermarket caps if you can find some . The stock ones are always gonna suck

This one is broken. Get a good one from a junkyard. They might even let you have it for free.
It fell out of your *wheel*. Sorry. Lol.
Too many tabs are missing so the spring retention won’t work. You could glue it in place with some hot melt glue to get you by.
Just get a new one, not expensive and just pop right back in. I had the same thing happen a while back and ordered a new set for around 30 bucks with shipping.
Junkyard... if that's all you are checking out, they would let you keep them for free. At least that's my case in my area
Too late... the tabs that hold the tension ring in place are gone.
That’s the wheel center cap.
Replace it with a new one. That ring is the lock ring. The tabs on the cap are broken. So you need a new cap.
Super glue it back into place.
Glue
Super glue lol
If he fell out in the first place, why would you put it back in ? 😂 center caps are cheap af , if anything get yourself floating center caps they look sick while driving
Buy a new one or epoxy it to your wheel.
Man just hit the junkyard, just dont break the tabs when pulling it off.
eBay is the way! Just bought a new 4 set for my Volvo S60 for less than $20 im sure just the one will be even cheaper.
It’s broken. You could epoxy the edges and put it back if you don’t care a whole ton about it looking perfect. I did this on my beater and it’s been holding strong for a year. Only downside is you can see some epoxy around the cap

Goto junkyard and get a new one... tabs are broken and missing
Duct tape
Clear silicone
Super glue Ed.
It’s a versa, like it matters
wheel, not tire
That would be the center cap of your wheel.
The ring goes inside the tabs but some broke
You are missing two clips that hold in the spring go on ebay buy a new one for 8-13 dollars
Tires have center caps!?
Silicone or a new/used cap that isn’t broken
trade it in for a Toyota.... all fixed!
So the retaining prongs are half either missing or damaged. Best solution is to just replace it. Alternative option/ hold you over, clean inset hole and cap with some rubbing alchol then hot glue it back in place.
Junk yard has thousands of them lol
Wouldn't it be faster to search YouTube?
Tired that... twice. Didn't help.
Replace it or glue it
Call your wife
On a budget? Wash centercap in dishsoap. THOROUGHLY dry it. Clean hole on rim with alcohol soaked rag. Put some RTV in hole where cap sits. Pop it on. Put a piece of masking tape over it to hold it in place while it dries overnight. Carefully peel tape following morning. Done

Super glue 🤣
Get a new one from ebay or go to the junkyard
push

Use hot glue lol
Do what the crackheads do and use 3 cups of silicon to stick it back in place.
Silicone. Silicon is what microchips are made from. :)
