Default New "Koup" Wheel Center Caps

Considering ordering a set of these for my Koup. Does anyone know how to remove the KIA center caps without drilling, as this seller suggests?

KIA FORTE KOUP 2010 WHEEL CENTER CAPS : eBay Motors (item 300411177845 end time Apr-24-10 19:28:31 PDT)

The only thing I don't really like about these is the writing around the edge of them. I think it looks good, but they probably could have thought of something better than "The Driving Force".

I'm pretty sure they just pop out! You may have to remove the wheel in order to "pop" em out without damaging them. If you try and "pry" them out when the wheel is on, you may damage them or even the wheel itself.

Just remove the wheel and push the cap out from behind. Their instructions are so you ca replace them without removing the wheels.

Awesome! I'll be ordering them shortly. Sadly, I probably won't have them by the day of the meetup.
