plastic centre caps on alloy wheel.

[A nice cupra T]

I know this is going to sound a really stupid question, but whats the best way to remove the plastic seat centre caps from my alloy wheels without damaging them?

Ive got an 04 cupra 1m so it's got the 5 spoke alloys. They're mint like new and don't want to gouge and mark them.

Remove the wheel and push them out from the back

There's a specific tool in with the spare wheel designed to get the caps off. It looks like a metal hook.

LOL you have to remove the cap to remove the wheel studs....
As stated there should be a small tool with a type of hook on it....

Lol, I thought it was a common rim with only a small center cap

As stated above, play Captain Hook with the appropiate tool then

Use a old clothes hanger? Or use a small screwdriver, or just be creative. I didnt have mine when I bought the car. I used the old tool which are delivered when you buy new front shocks (to keep them under pressure)

Okay I will try that, thanks for the response

i didnt have one for about 6 months when i got my leon, then, when i was cleaning out the boot i found it in the bottom of the spare wheel well, at 1st it wasnt obvious wat it was, but then it makes sense once you use it once.

before then i just used a small screwdriver.
