Default Removing Wheel Centre

Do the wheel centre caps 'pop' off, or do they unscrew - I don't want to damage them? (or are they secured from the inside?)

The reason I ask is on of my caps has peeling paint. I was thinking of sourcing one from a scrappy... (I've heard Honda charge a fortune).. are the centre caps the same across all year variants/differing wheel sizes?

Look at them closely; you push them out to the front. Tap with the handle of a ratchet normally does it.

They very between sizes and front- or rear- loaders according to wheel type & MY.

Are you sure? I recently upgraded from the earlier 16" wheels to 17" and the caps swapped over between the 2 sets fine.

IIRC, some people had problems doing so. TBH, it may be to do with the different finishes on the earlier wheels.

The OEM '01s went straight onto my BBS wheels no problem.
