Ah, but it protects the paint on the rims. the paint on mine is all scarred up from the PO prying the hubcaps off with a screwdriver.
I bought the "dress up" hubcap pullers that fit into the jack points and have a chrome "button" that covers the jack point hole.
See here.... http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=ZVW35
I just insert the pins into the holes on the hubcap, and snatch the hubcap off. Mine come off with no prying.

Don't forget to put on a sport coat to do it.

| I use mine by putting them on top of paper on my tool bench. That way paper doesn't fly all over the garage. Then I use a screwdriver to remove the hubcaps. They are on so tight that nothing else will get them off. |

We had a German service manager that wanted us to wear neckties in the shop.
Until he got his caught in the fan on a 911. Luckily, it was a clip on tie, but it broke the Porsche fan.
