It's a little tricky, I was always able to grab the cover like a bowling ball and pull them off.

i took off 2 lugs,then i took a rag and a pair of plyers and grabbed one side and pulled them hard. the ones i sold you were taken off that way. just be REAL careful that you don't scratch them.

Really the easiest way to do it is just to pull the wheel off and tap them off from the backside. Also, some aftermarket centercaps have a little metal expander ring in the cap that makes it VERY difficult to remove the caps without taking the wheel off.
