I had new ones a few years ago, but they only lasted a year or two before the same thing happened.
While on the subject, the bonnet/boot MG badges de-laminate very quickly too, but at least you can still get replacements for those.

When I had my wheels refurbished in white, I threw the centre hub caps away and put in some VW ones instead. These will cover the hub nuts, but will leave the wheel nuts exposed, like this...
