    I have different, but similar wheel covers on my Gen 3. I put on gloves or use a rag to protect my hands and yank hard on a couple of the spokes.
    You could try prying the outer edge using a rag covered putty knife but I always chicken out for fear of breaking the plastic outer rim.

    Never mind. I thought the lug nuts fastened the wheel cover to the wheel.

    Those are nice wheelcovers. I like the style. But wouldn't fit on my 07 wheels.
