Center Cap Removal

Any suggestions on how to remove the center wheel caps, without damaging them or the wheels? thanks

It is easier with the wheel off as there is a metal ring that pushes out the tabs that hold the cap in place, so you can at it from the back.

OK, I was afraid of that. I have to take the wheels off! I've decided to hold off on chrome wheels (can't find any I like that fits on the stock tires). So now I have the chrome centers and probably need to exchange for the stock colored Track centers. Frustrating

Looks great--I wondering if the chrome ones would look out of place in the stock wheels? I thought they would tie in the chrome lug nuts but really can't tell until they are on. would like to avoid the exchange routine.

3-Dots?

Are those the touring 17 inch rims?

Which rims get the 3 dots?

By the way, the "Z" center caps look AWESOME !
