Default Losing hubcaps

This may be a dumb question, but here goes....My son's 65 Tempest crew cab has the Deluxe wheel disc hubcaps. Original hubcaps in undamaged condition on original wheels in good condition. He's thrown 3 hubcaps in the last couple of months. My 66 GTO has the 66 version of the same hubcap (same thing with minor cosmetic differences), and it's never lost a hubcap in 57 years and 258,000 miles. The only difference I'm aware of is the Tempest has 14x5 wheels, while the GTO has 14x6. Do the 5 inch wheels flex more? Is there anything I can do to prevent them from coming off?

Thanks,
Importsmasher
