    Hey everyone!
    Today I was trying to dip the emblem on the centre of my stock rim. I tried to twice and had some issues so I took the dip off. I was wondering if it was possible to take the rim cap off? Would I have to remove the wheel to do it? If I can it would be so much easier to dip the emblem.

    They just pop off and clip on. u can run a screwdriver down by the lug nut and use the nut as a fulcrim to pry it up on one side if u can't just pull it off

    Oh I don't do metal on plastic anymore, even with tape over the metal(does nothing). Many years of breaking and trying not to break something when using metal to plastic. I have plastic removal tools now, best money I have ever spent.

    I guess a more appropriate question would have been what does AB stand for? (Except ending a sentence in a proposition is gramatically incorrect but u no what I mean) I assumed it was quite ways from me since there is no state abbreviated in that way. also I be I could fly there in less than 40 hours.

    It means "Alberta". The Google Maps that I did showed the "40 hours of driving".
