Wow, those do look great! What a bargain, too! Great buy!
I got frustrated looking at all the different options on Amazon and eBay and not knowing what I was going to get, so I just gave up and spent nearly $60 to buy them from AutoHausAZ to the tune of almost $60. Ouch. I also bought new lug bolts and new ///M stickers. Probably a bit of a waste of $150 or so, but I'm spending well over a grand on new tires and refurbished wheels, what's another $150 to have it all be brand new?
I was thinking about this. I haven't tested it, but my plan was a good suction cup. I think if it got stuck on off-center so you were pulling on one side of the cap, it should pop out. I don't know if it'll work, but that's what I was going to try.

You know, I was thinking about this a few days before I changed the caps out and it just completely slipped my mind until I was on on my hands and knees wrestling the last wheel back on.
Let us know if that works.
Also, while it's $150, you know it's all OEM! Better than my Italian BMW parts haha
Bet you could sacrifice the caps, drill a pilot hole, put a sheet metal screw in there, pliers.
