    On the Prius liftback you just have to pull hard and they pop off. I have done it using just my hands and hard pulling motions. It'll come off one spot, then keep working your way around pulling until the whole thing pops off.

    I removed mine by just grabbing them between the spokes and carefully pulling them off....I was AMAZED at how great the alloy wheels hidden by them look!

    What's an "allow wheel cover"? It sounds more like a setup option.

    Yah, except for the ugly holes in the middle. Do they sell some tiny hub covers for those things I wonder? If so I'd just get rid of my wheel covers, two of which were already stolen anyway.
