Used to own a Tiburon GT that i fully T badged before trading it in for the Koup SX so guessing the wheel cap design is the same. Anyway you can pry them out with a flat head screwdriver or something else small and flat but you risk damaging the paint along the cap area.

If they are in fact the same design (round, few small plastic clips with a metal ring holding it in) and don't want to keep the kia caps you can break them. Hammer and a small chisel or pic. Just kinda gently hammer a whole in the center with the chisel and then kinda work around the whole itself to make it bigger. Eventually the whole cap will just kind of fall apart. From there you can pull it out and just snap the new ones in.

For anyone who's looking for wheel center pieces to match the "K" emblems.

I found these wheel center "caps" on eBay as well. They don't have clips like the Kia and Koup ones. These just stick on to the existing center caps with some 3M adhesive.
