Missing center piece!?

Missing center piece!?
Hey guys, today I drove by to my friends house and he informed me I was an idiot.
Apparently I am, I've been driving for I don't know how long without a center piece cap on my rims. At this point, I'm kindve mad that it just popped out. Ever since I bought my hummer new in August 06', the center cap spins, and I tried to go to dealer to fix the problem but they tanked and became a ferrar/bentley dealership instead (LOL).
Anyways, do you guys have any ideas what to do?
My options so far are 1. Live with it, 2. buy new rims, 3. remove the other 3 center piece and replace with something else (like an H2 emblem or something). I'll have pictures if you guys need to know what I'm talking about. Until I find a solution, I think i'll be driving the lexus a little bit more sadly. If you guys have other suggestions/recommendations, lets hear it!

I tried to look for the exact type of center cover on ebay and other online vendors. It's quite hard actually. Or I am not searching correctly, regardless, my 22 rims are like this but the center piece is nothing like it in the picture

Haha Sorry about the misleading title and thanks for your input. I too consider replacing all four caps since all of them were loose within a week of ownership. But with what? Does anyone know how this works? I'm into modifying my car but I never do wheel/tire stuff so i am new in that area. I seriously look like a gimp with the missing cap. Do not take hummer out, unless it is dark enough for anothers not to notice lol.

Looks like your Hummer came with fubared rims. You only have four choices:
1) Get the dealer to fix it. I doubt that is going to happen.
2) Get the Mfr to pony up and fix the problem. Good luck with that.
3) Live with it. I wouldn't.
4 ) Chalk it off as a life lesson and bear the expense. Sometimes you have to pay for one of life's little lessons.

The expense isn't really a problem, its finding the person who carries it. As stated, my dealership tanked and became an exotic dealership. A lot of the ones I found online were the flat version of my S28, (The picture i linked in the post above), and not that of my original were I posted pictures of. I figured my choice were to replace or remove all center cap and get the flat, or buy new 22" black rims lol. Holding off on that for now.

Bro, before I bought my H2, someone stole a centerpiece from my 22's (well at the time it wasn't mine lol), and the dealer who sold me, just made a blacksmith do 4 new centerpieces to fit the wheels, and these ones don't come off.
That's your best option...
