Aluminium caps need the lube. Put some on my previous Puma dry and they had to be sawed off. Plastic is safer.

Having said that and whilst I agree Aluminium caps will corrode and stick fast quickly. Shouldn't you be checking tyre pressures on a regular basis.

You mean Wheel Centre Caps I think. 54mm is the correct size. Aftermarket caps are not always that great. Some very poor quality.

Yep, guilty of not checking tyre pressure for two months last winter. That's when I found they were stuck fast. Lesson learned.
