this might not work on all rims, but it works on konigs for sure.

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/2/web/482000-482999/482117_362_full.jpg Start to snap the pontiac cap into the remaining piece from the aftermarket cap, making sure that the pontiac cap sits up against the side where those tabs were. before completely snapping it in, put some silicone between the two to make sure the cap doesnt spin.
