Strange Hubcaps Issue

I put steelies and hubcaps on my truck 2 months ago. The caps fit snug and I don't have a problem with them when I'm driving the truck.

But twice when the truck has been parked over 3 days and not driven one of the caps will just pop off. I find them on the ground next to the wheel.

This has happened on two different wheels. One on the front and the other on the rear wheel.

I would think if I had an issue they would let loose while driving not after sitting and they seem to fit just fine.

I have stainless caps on repop Ford wheels (wider) I'm not sure if that may have something to do with it. It's weird they fit fine then just fall off out of the blue.
