Any suggestions on removing center caps? I've tried the duct tape route and had zero luck.

Are there any other ways you guys have had luck with?

That would be the first logical thought, but I'm afraid to scratch the wheel...

Yeah, slim screwdriver or pocket knife worked fine to pop em off on my stock chrome clads.

I've removed my a few times between my 14 Sport and 16 Rebel. I would not try to remove them from the front. On the backside there is a retaining "clip" that you need to remove first....at least that's the correct way to remove them. To each their own.

Ended up drilling a hole through the old ones and popping them out with a screwdriver that way.

Thanks for the input!

well you should have said you were replacing them since that meant you weren't worried about damage to the center cap lol

the easiest way to get them out with no damage worry is from the inside like Sir Jon said

I recommend investing in a set of plastic auto trim tools.
