Removing center cap embel
Ok I done a search but couldn't find anything on this.
How do you remove the embels on the center cap for GTA style rims. I tried everything I could think of and couldn't remove them.
How did ya'll do this?
Reason I want to do this, is to create a custom insert for the center caps.

I can answer. The center cap with WS6 emblem is attached with silicone. You can pop it off with a putty knife. You can also push from the inside. There are holes that the glue pokes through. You can soak it in WD40 to help soften the glue.

I've heated the inside of the cap with a cig lighter, then poke from behind to pop the center off. Becareful not to melt the cap. Just a few seconds of heat.
