Default Lug Caps

What is the easiest way to get the plastic lug caps of the z06 wheels without damage. They just snap on or what?

Thanks

get a flat head screwdriver and a microfiber cloth, you can get it down in there and pry it open. Even without a towel you're not going to really mess it up by putting metal directly on to them. They shouldn't be that hard to get off.

I just took my wheels off to clean the insides this weekend and I could tap them out with my fingers.
