Default Center cap on Audi BBS RC wheels wouldn't come off?
I tried using the black plastic tool provided from Audi, but 3 of the caps simply wouldn't budge. Is there a secret in this? What can I do now? Thank!

Andy

Default Buy one of these from Tirerack.com, or buy a strap wrench

Default I use a rubber mallet and hit them a few times
That loosens them up and doesn't hurt the finish. The other thing I have seen is a channel locks with a cloth over the cap.
