    Default Removing HSV Centre Caps

    Hey guys,

    They arent the cheapest things and I am taking my wheels off tommorow to get powdercoated satin black by Coloururmags. Just wondering do these just push out from the inside with your fingers or is their a method I should remove them with which will not damage them?

    Cheers

    Most HSV rims use the method above. If doing this with the mag face down, remember to put a rag or something on the ground as not to scratch them.
