Yeh I did the same thing..then I drove downtown alongside shiny buildings..then just to make sure I put the car in drive and ran along side it...forgot I lived on a hill though

j/k

I plan on trying it again tonight but this time I am going to ride along side and se if the reflection I am seeing isn't just an optical conclusion!

Thanks Jerry for such a quick response!

Why do I have this funny feeling that eBay is about to have about 100 listings for used BMW center caps?

I just got mine, but can not pop off my existing center caps. I have a set of 4.6 replicas that I bought from truckaccesoryoutlet, does anyone have any advice?

Did you get the suction cup tool with your spinners? If not, any decent suction cup should do the trick. They came out very easily on my 132's...

Did you push in with the suction cup and then pull straight back quickly? The snap motion seems to get them right off.

I tried the suction cup, but it isn't working, do I need to loosen them around the sides first somehow?

Make sure your centercaps are clean, the cup wont stick to dirt or dust. Also, light moisture on the inside of the suction cup may help. You could pry the caps up gently with a small flat blade screwdriver but I really don't think you will have to do that.
