Question Center caps for replica 20" wheels(style 87)

Hi guys

The center caps of my replica 20" wheels are falling off
Do you guys know where can I find the center caps that would fit replicas?
another question, how do I remove the center caps?

Thanks!!!

Calvin check with your dealers....they should have them lying around. That's where I got the center caps for my replica 87s. To remove the caps it's best if you remove the wheels and then pop the caps out from the inside. Some caps fit less snugly so you can just pry them off but becareful not to scratch whe rims.

Remember that the roundels on most replica rims are not the same size as OEM for "copywrite" laws. Just check to make sure. Best bet, bring one with you and match it up.

thanx guys!
Since I don't have any tools to remove the wheels, I figure that I can only bring it to the dealer and have them replace it. They might charge an hour labor LOL.
happy holiday!
