There are no special clips, the cap just sits inside of the hole. It's not very satisfactory to be honest and it's very easy to accidentally push the centre too deep inside the wheel (I used to do that all the time).

Did these caps come with the wheels or were they bought seperately? Mambas have varied over the years and these caps may just be slightly too small for your wheel casting, there is nothing much you can do about that because there are no different caps available. Bend the lip out a bit to make it grip or use something to gum them in place.

Quite right, there are several generations of Mambas, the only ones being produced now are Japanese, mine were made by Alleycat & the centre caps fit very tightly & the wheel nut washers overlap them very slightly. Possibly a layer of good insulation tape around the edge of the caps may help?
