best way to remove centre cap off 09 fit LX

Hi guys,

In Canada the fit LX looks like this:

I need to swap off my winter tires on steel rims and put back these wheels - whats the best way to pop off the center cap without damaging the alloy?

Wrap a cotton shop rag around a wide flat head screwdriver and carefully pry it off

You could also wrap electrical tape around a screwdriver. You can also put a little piece of blue painter's tape on the part of the wheel where you'll be prying.

This is what I did when I put my summer tires/wheels back on last week. Worked perfectly, no damage.

Hey do you know where to buy the center cap of the Lx wheels? I haven't found any website selling it and Honda sells it for 65$ each, just for the center cap! it's too expensive!
thanks!
