Hey boyz, i just bought some 19s for my car but the wheels that are on it now dont seem to want to come off...... i dont know what brand they are or how to get them off.... im thinking there was a special key to go into all those small holes that would turn it teh center cap would screw off..... there appears to be not other way to get them off...
and incase ur wondering those little holes have no screws or allen key holes in them so it doesnt undo like that.....it just looks like there was a key with a set of small rods on it that slipped into it to unscrew it..

what you think?
also what BLOODY BRAND IS IT...?

LOL yes that was me..... i was mouthin Bane.... hahaha, yeah the skyline is goin great... new turbo and been tuned at 245kw atw...

yeah well it looks like it has to twist off.... there is no where to shove a screw driver to pop it off.... plus its not a plastic centre cap, its the same compound as the wheels itself.. so i dont wanna go breaking stuff...

:S i dunno, i have tried twisting it wit my hands but its tight as...

i will have to make something with prongs on it to fit....
it has to twist off, there appears no other way

well stop putting oil on your hands. I know its nice to keep them nice and soft for the girl friend, but no good for cars. lol

yeah i thought that too, but the holes are empty, not allen key holes or screw driver hole or anything, just holes..... obviously there must have been a key....

Have you checked every hole. Some of the wheels like that only have a couple of allen key
holes. The others are just to make it look nice.

may sound silly but maybe those holes are the lock and u need some sort of tool thats fits those hols and twist it open? thats the only thing i can think of. as u said before get a vice grip os sum massive pliers and try opening it with that. it might damage the cover but atleast youll get the wheels off.............if it opens

they are twist type, i got 2 screw drivers and put them in the holes then tiwsted it with another driver for leverage....
problem solved... there must have been a key for it... but now i know i dont need it.
