I ended up going with a dust cap. it isn't a tight fit either so tape was required. anyway, here is how mine ended up. got the dust caps at NAPA for around $3 each.
a user here recommended them to me (yaris girl or something like that)

Doesn't the tape leave them a little awkward on the wheel? That's what I'm finding, even though it doesn't hold at all it won't make an even fit either.

I saw the dust cap idea, it's cool but not what I'm looking for, I suppose if I can't get this to work, I'm going to lick my wounds and just put stock caps back on until I can get real wheels...which Ill likely be too cheap to buy anyway

Here's what it looks like, I'd smiling ear to ear if it worked right lol.

I have had the same Tercel caps on Crashy for the past two years. They snap on and have stayed on through two Winters of plowing snow, but they do pull of fairly easily.

If you are worried about them coming off, instead of tape, try a small dab of Automotive Goop on each of the four prongs.
