Default Pissed off, how do I get the BBS wheel center caps off??

<<ME This car is pissing me off. I now know why dealers charge a bizzilion dollars an hour to work on these. So, waiting for my cam adjuster tool, so I can finish the seals on the top end. Have lots of time, figure I'll remove the headlights and try to lube the motors, fix the adjusters so I can see where I'm going. To remove the headlights, gotta remove the bumper, to remove the bumper, gotta remove the wheels, to remove the wheels, gotta remove the center of the BBS wheels, the plastic "tool" was in the trunk, but it too flimsy to remove the caps. Is there a trick? They'll move back and forth about a 1/8 of an inch, but that's it. HELP. please...

Never mind. Figured it out. Noting a little brute force and ignorance couldn't fix. For future reference, used a big rubber strap wrench to get enough torque. Felt good to vent though, now back to your regular scheduled posts.
