How to remove Volk center caps ....yes I have searched n need more help

The Wheels are 19 VOLK GT-V, and are off the car

I can see the black o-ring in the back and as suggested I tried to pry the ring out.......no luck.....then placed padding and the rubber handle of a hammer, the tried to hammer with a second one but no luck....

I need these off, so they can be posted for sale, I pity (or not) the fool who has ever tried to steal one of these....hehe.........serves them right

I dont want to damage these guys......

I searched "Volk center caps remove/al" and came up with cpl of posts where people were having the same problem...........any1 successful?

If the deal falls through with a local guy, these 9.5F, 10.5 that clear Brembos will be op for sale.........

these should come out if you pound it from the back(2nd pic) with the hammer handle. might take more than a gentle tap though

gotta hit it pretty hard... almost to the point where you think it could break...

I used the rubber end of jack handle (hammer will work too) and banged hard a couple times (from the back of course)... this is with wheel sitting face down on cardboard on flat surface...

Try again with more force, it will come out.
