Are the lug nuts on the hubcaps fake? Or do they actually come off? In other words, do I take the hubcaps off by prying them off, or do I screw off the lug nuts that are visible on top of the hubcaps?

The whole hubcap comes off as one piece. Just get a prybar behind it and pop that sumbitch off. Oh yeah, and that thing in the ashtray is what turns the headlights on and off, in case you didn't know.

Hey, it could be worse. I could have totaled an RX-8.

Turns out you were wrong. I removed my wheels for the first time today. The hubcaps do not pry off. You have to remove the lug nuts before you do anything else.....
