Default Removing Rota Center Caps

I just got a set of rota slipstreams and they have the carbon fiber look center caps. How do I go about removing them? I noticed they have a few hex screws do they have to be removed? Thanks.

Dude...you can just pull them off with your hands It might be a little tough, so you can also use a flat-head screwdriver (just make sure you don't scratch the finish). Otherwise, take off your wheels and pop them out from the inside. Those hex-nuts aren't anything

thanks for the reply. the wheels arent mounted so i guess i will try to remove them again. i was using a screwdriver at first but then i saw the hex screws. i just wanted to be sure on how to remove them so i wouldnt damage them.

if the wheels are off the car, hold the wheel upright, and tap the center cap from the inside out.. it will pop right out of the wheel.
