Default How to remove 2001.5 Quattro Sports Package wheel

I am about to install my winter tire,
but how do I remove the 17" tire that comes with
the sports package?

I have checked the tool box, and I did not see
any tools that can be used to remove the center
cap.

Any suggestion?

Default Not the screwdriver!!!!!!

Don't use the screwsdriver that might scratch or bend the side of the cap. In that black tool box their is a small metal hook, right above where the jack lays. I have the same wheels you do, take the hook and stick it in one of the little holes that go around the wheel cap. The hook will grab the back of the cap, and then you just pull and the cap pops right off.

same wheels here, that's the correct way to pull off the center cap. NOT with a screwdriver!

Note: you may have to pull pretty hard.
