Wheel Center Cap removal

[Green Machine]

How hard is it to remove the center cap from rims ? I know a dumb question, but I don't want to mess the rim up etc.

Reason is, I got a sweet deal on eBay for a pair of silver AFS Cobra R 10.5 rims, and I want to take their snake off and put a genuine FMS Cobra R center cap in it's place.

Thanks,Dewman

Can't you just pop it out from the back with a large punch or something?

Yeah, I think you should take the wheel off and do it from the back just to be safe. You can probably just pop it out with you fingers around the edges.

lol, i don't mean to be an ******* or anything, but i can't believe there's a thread on this topic, hehehe.

i agree w/ justin and jeremy--do it w/ the wheel off from behind.

I think the hole for the FRPP Cobra R wheels is a different size than the repro models. I'm not 100% certain about that, but I know I've read it somewhere anyway.

I have AFS Rs too and center cups was lose all the time,one day one fall off and some kid say whan it fly away and give me later , i use some glue to glue them
You can take them off with punch from inside ,and they came off easy

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. I never paid attention to how the caps were attached.

I'll be sure to have some glue ready for them. At $30 a pop don't want them going anywhere.
