Stupid question time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
What is the best way to remove the center caps from alloy rims (Fuchs)? I have extra set of rims with the center caps all beat up by someone pounding them out from the inside of the cap. I'm not worried about those caps but the ones on my car are perfect and I plan on doing some tire swapping with my rims and I can't get the caps off. I don't want to pry on them OR beat on the backside to get them out, so whats the trick. They are very tight in the rim. man I feel stupid <_< |

I have had 2 different kinds in the past. On one there are 3 allen head screws on the side walls of the caps. You need to loosen them to remove the caps. On another kind the pretty part on the outside is mounted by 2 screws to a backing plate. On both of these styles you need to take the wheels of the car so you can access the screws from the back. That way somebody else can't steel your expensive center caps.
