Ronal (15" from a 5k) Center Cap:

There will be loads of old butyl around the tail lights when we remove
them iirc.

3M Strip Caulk is great for that sort of thing.  Lasts for years, if not

decades.  In that application it will probably need periodic renewal due

to attrition when removing/replacing the cap though.

Also, try to read the part number off the cap, see if dealer can get 
one.  First, though, make sure the cap is the same # as the ones that 
work - a few wheels used similar, but slightly different diameter, caps.
