- 2021 Porsche Taycan . 2017 Rolls Royce Dawn
My base 2021 Taycan did not have holes in center cap. I purchased from Amazon Kaisiking Heavy Duty Suction Cups. They came off easily. Since the caps are not flat, simply wet the cup and press firmly.By mistake, I didn't order colored center caps on my build. After the fact, I discovered that they are actually less expensive from Suncoast ($169) than they are as an option from the factory ($190) so no real harm done.
I'm curious, though, as to how the caps are removed. Older style caps had small holes in them through which you could hook a tool or small allen wrench and then pull off the cap. My GT3 center lock caps had a notch which allowed them to be pried off with a supplied tool or a small screwdriver.
The photos of the Taycan caps on the Suncoast web site don't appear to show holes or notches. So how do they come off? Does the wheel have to be removed or is there some other trick? It might be obvious to me if I had wheels to examine but my car isn't here yet.
