Removing Volk Center Caps. How to?

Hey guys, I have some gold Rays Center Caps on my car now (On Nismo LMGT4's 19"). I'm trying to take those out and put on some of the flat silver ones. Now I took off my wheel but i dont see any allen screws, any tabs or anything to get them out. They seem to sorta look like the ones seen here:

They are raised. I tried hammering them from the back but they seem to be wedged in there. I tried hammering from the front and sorta damaged them d'oh!! How the hell do I get these things off?? Someone's gotta know.

I really dont see any screws unless im missing something. Where would the screws be? It just seems to be wedged in there.

nope, they aren't screw off. they are just popped in with a rubber gasket like band. all you do is pound them out. seriously. trust me, i've had too many sets of Rays/Volks.

Great thanks sen_jen. Now you pound them out by hitting the back of the wheel so they fall out from the front side right? I'm assuming you have to or else you'll just damage the cap.

Yes, they should fall out of the front side of the wheels.

Cool thanks guys. I guess i'll have to try hitting it a little harder. Because they are inside its kind of hard to hit it with a hammer but i'll try and get them out.

Don't hit them to hard with that hammer, don't want to crack or dent them.
