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

try a flat head screw driver.

when u pop them out spray paint them black it looks so good and no need to replace them.

NO THATS BETTER!

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

I did it I painted the center cap black and I also painted the stock brake calipers black... now that's cool ... I'll try to get some pics...
