I have the flat bronze caps right now. I know they have tabs in the inside, any idea if they are as difficult?

im sure its the same style as the timeattack caps, did it have a big black o-ring on the cap? If so just spray some wd40 where the cap and wheel meet on the back, let it sit for a few mins, grab a towel, mallet and a flat head screwdriver. put the towel on the cap and the screwdriver on the inside edge of the cap and lightly tap it out, should pop right out

Ok, update on the thread. Installed the center cap but it was dark out so only some indoor pics (mostly close ups). I will take some more photos over the weekend.

I'm in the process of painting my Volk GT center caps. My RE30's are flat black so the aluminum center caps don't really match. I read up on painting aluminum and followed the process. I dipped them in vinegar (acid bath), then wiped them down good with alcohol. Then I applied a few coats of Zinc Chromate primer. Now I'm finally getting to actually painting them but the paint should stick well I hope.
