removing centre caps of rims ...
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.

when you next have your rims off just push them out from behind. they pop out quite easily

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