Is there a way to remove the cone without damaging it? The spinner forces it on the adapter. My cones are incorrect, chrome vs brush stainless

That sure looks like brushed. Someone probably followed the instruction sheet and put a bead of silicone around them to prevent rattling. They should pull off with some steady force. Here's what the chrome looks like, notice how much clearer the spoke reflections are:

i found a set of Knock offs for my 66 I bought a while back
coming from Arizona
i have looked and seen a lot of opinions around the web
question is
does anyone here with knock offs use loctite, on the threads, or anti seize, or just clean dry threads?
a few pics of the wheels, and the car they are for
already bought a mother thumper & suction cup for center cap
thanks for any input

Do they still use the clip on lead weights to balance knock off wheels?

Sorry should have been more clear, those are not my wheels just reminded me I couldn’t figure out how to remove the cone. No rear access and no place to pull from front

I replaced my cones which had been installed with caulking of some kind to keep them from rattling. If yours are glued on it is not likely they will come off undamaged. We pried and heated and pried some more until they finally let go. Thankfully they make new ones.
