    Noob question about centre caps

    Hey guys i am a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff!

    I would like to change the centre caps of my wheels from the current 'hr racing' ones to some BMW caps. I just would like some advice on how to do it!

    do they just pop in and out? can i do it without removing the wheels?

    any help is appreciated...

    Very easy to do, If they are too tight to get a fingernail under and pry off, just jack up one corner at a time take the wheel off and pop them of from the back.

    If you cant find a pop in one the same size, Most wheel badges on ebay will have double sided backing on them so you can just stick them on. Just find the right diameter and stick it on!

        Old credit cards/drivers licenses/any plastic card work well to pry them off from the front too.

        two of them, one on each side. and just twist

          find out what the diameter of the cap is. I have a set of 4 BMW ones that stick on. If they're the right size you can buy mine for super cheap.
