Wheel cover removal

Is there a certain way to get the wheel covers off the steel rim, or do you just pull? Since its so cold I don't want to crack the plastic.

The best way I've found is using your fingers only, pry evenly around the edges. The sharp edge of a tool like a screwdriver can create too much point pressure resulting in breakage. I have a broad, smooth edged pry tool that I sometimes use though. Cold will crack 'em though, so you might want to park in the sun for a while.
yeah just use your fingers and dont force it to much
Or drive through the flooded streets of So Cal from the recent rains. That'll get 'em off...

*facepalm

Time for new rims!

That's a cool idea. I never thought that these fingers will be enough to move around the edges smoothly. I prefer tools like screwdriver but what you said really makes sense.

Or slam the car into a curb like I did. They pop off that way too, lmao!!! It was icy out, and I slammed into a curb and did no damage, just a 2 inch scuff mark on the hubcap.
