do you mean between the lug nuts? i.e. the hub cover? (aka center cap) do you mean the plastic lug covers themselves?
screwdriver for the center cap...
the lug covers themselves screw off (counter clock-wise)

I usually leave the center plastic piece on when I take off the lugnuts. With the wheel off the car, I tap the piece free from the inside. When I reinstall the wheels on the car, I leave the plastic piece off until I have the lugnuts torqued up to 100. Then it snaps in easily.
