Take wheel off car. Push center cap off from inside. Use $32 to buy beer.

Ken that is funny!

Leadfoot, if you don't wand to buy the tool or wait for it...just use any two long objects that are small enough to fit inside (small phillips head or pick) and then wedge the objects slightly to grip...and pull. If you are smooth with it there will be no damage and they will pop out.

Or earn the beer by taking the wheels off and punching them out the back with your hand or back of screw driver.

This is how my dealer did it: Two small allen wrenches, with the L shape. The short end goes into the hole and acts as a hook; you hold on the long end and pull. No sharp edge & quick.
