replace wheel hub caps or wheel simulators

It is chateau 22e. Not sure what this is called. if this is wheel caps or wheel simulators. But I lost two of them (on the same side) on the first long trip last summer.

I noticed some rust on the wheels without them. The tire size is LT 225/75R16, should I buy 16 inch wheel cover/caps?

And can I buy bolt on version? So they won't drop off in next trip.

Thanks.

Langtian

The 'should you' part of your question is a matter of opinion. I pulled them off my coach, would rather not have added hassle checking tire pressures. The rust/scratches on your rims are likely caused by the simulators.. I plan on pulling my wheels and giving them a coat of fresh paint 'some day'.

As far as replacements, is this a Ford or Chevy chassis?

For ford I found these, claim to be bolt on: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pho-nf12r

there are likely many more options.... search ye olde interwebs for '16" bolt on simulators' and you should get a lot of hits.
