Never had an issue with falling off, yet never used cable ties. Ones i have bought were always a sod to fit on, had to be thumped hard while holding other side to get on, so zero chance of coming off while driving. Just the basic chrome supercheap ones. Could be all the rims i have had, had a better shape to hold them? I just noticed some mention - Adjustable retention ring If i remember correctly, you move the ring up some ramps a few clicks each way, hence why i have mine as tight as can still be still thumped on.
Mostly, they fall off because ppl don't bother to look over their car in the morning & see a cap starting to walk off. It's truly amazing what ppl can ignore about their pride & joy

Good point but pride comes in all sorts of colors & shapes these days
it gets worse / i go and get another set but what do i get . the wrong size . i keep them and get the right size and cable tie them on . end of story

Did you adjust the retaining ring so they are really hard to fit? odds are if loose enough and only cable tied, they will rattle.

The only one I,ve had to or seen cable tied are the original OE covers maybe because they cost so much like about twice the cost of a complete set of aftermarket ones and a fraction of the cost of having a "Kerbed"mag repaired.
