removing centre caps of rims ...

Post by RCaputi »

Anyone know how to get the centre piece of the OEM rims off? Mine were scuffed up when I got the car and I heard you can get replacement ones. I figures I could just paint 'em instead. Anyone?<p>Thanks in advance.

you have to remove the wheel first, you cant take the centre caps off with the wheel on the car.
