just take em off, its a waste of time to save them, a waste of money to buy new ones, they interfere with aftermarket wheels......They are used to holf pieces together on the line during assembly, as parts move around without torque on them, your car isnt gonna travel 20 yards to get the wheels put on, so ditch em. Plus.....they look ghey
