Remove spinners on 87 Z28 vert
I recently purchased an 87 Z28 vert, completely stock, except for the goofy spinners on the wheels. They're actually high quality, solid metal with a nice Z28 emblem in the center and secured solidly to the wheel. But they need to go so I can replace them with the stock center caps. Has anyone seen these before? Any idea how they come off? They seem to be screwed to the wheel, but they won't turn.

I would assume like the stock caps the pull off and are held on bye tension from metal tabs.
Since there ugly no risk in a hard yank lol.

Remove one wheel. I'm sure that they are bolted on from the inside of the wheel. Usually pretty simple solution

Btw, congrats on your purchase. Looks like a fully loaded Z28 with the red leather interior and the fog lights.

TunedPerf x2... give it a good yank. You have to remove those aftermarket caps to get to the lug nuts regardless.
