Went to rotate my tires, removed tire, spare wouldn't fit due to center cap. Is there some special way to remove these or are they just pushed on. I've got some photos to share if anyone is interested.
Got them off. They were on tighter than all get out. Just pull off.
You just push them out, when the wheel is off, from the outside - in.

I bought two types of drill bits, titanium and the toughest one on the market and tried to drill holes in the broken screws. The bits arent making a dent. I want to drill holes then tap new holes for the new caps and screws.
Anybody got any experience or ideas how to do this? Thanks
Find a tool truck, Snap-On, Matco, MAC, or such. Get a left hand drill bit that cuts in the reverse direction. They make special extractor bit sets for this, and they have a coating better than titanium. I have had great luck with a set I got from Snap-On. You will have to be very careful since the base metal of the wheel is so much softer than the screws, which are likely made of stainless steel. I would drill the holes out and install helicoils so the stock size screws will work, otherwise the center caps will need drilled out, and you will have to do the entire set of wheels and center caps if you go with bigger screws.

I have looked up on there site and I can't come up with anything. I want another set for my other car, so I would like to find out what kind they are. Does anyone know how I can find out what they are. Thanks for your help
Where did you buy them from? If you bought them from a buddy, find out where he got them from. If you bought them from ebay, try and get back in touch with the seller to find out where HE got them from. They might be discontinued, if they are... good luck finding 'em. You'll probably have to figure out where they originally came from to get another set.
I need them to fit a Toyota Tacoma 15 inch 6 lug

American Racing Wheels are perhaps the most famous custom rims in the world. There is a reason for this. American Racing wheels are famous because the company was the first to design and manufacture custom wheels. True to their name, American Racing wheels was founded in 1956 by an enterprising drag racer and his engineer buddy in San Francisco. The two custom rim designers were trying to make a lighter, stronger wheel for racing that was tough and durable. What followed was the Torq Thrust, a legend in custom wheels and a style that is still manufactured today in varying sizes and finishes.
