Center Cap Covers will not come off
Getting my wheels coated and I get a call that the passanger side wheel caps will not come off. They told me that the plastic wrench is getting stripped. Is there a better wrench cap that is not plastic to get these off?

They came down to the tyre shop with some 4x2, placed it on the cap and gave it a a tap with the hammer.
This is was enough to break the seal and remove the cap.

Had a similar issue with mine. The center cap was tightened and the outer cover was not in place properly in the holes for the lugs of the rims. The center cap removal tool is plastic and was slipping. Had to get a channel lock wrench (large one) and carefully loosen the center cap. From now on, what I do is manual hand tighten with the removal tool.
