They are just a press fit with easily breakable plastic tabs.  Tap gently
around them with a rubber mallet and work them off evenly.  Tabs weaken and
break after 20 years, and I got new ones from Van Caf�:

ml   Not cheap, but what are you going to do.  Lucky someone has them.

Subject: Removing alloy wheel center cap

Anyone know how to remove the little silver center caps from a 14in alloy
wheel. I only have two good ones left so I don't want to break this one.
