Dumb Question!, how do I get the center caps off the tires

Okay, this is stupid. I don't know how to get the center caps off my BBS wheels on my 88 vert.

Need help and brain
Maybe watching Nickalodeon will make me feel smarter.

If you don't have THE tool (check for sale section here),
you can use a strap wrench (sears is a good place for them)

yes, there is a small toolkit in the trunk.

In the front wall of the trunk (farthest from tailights) on the left side of that wall there should be a flap held by a snap button, it opens up and has a small toolkit inside. There should be a black wrench for screwing the cap on/off

usually you should be able to do it by hand anyway. it only moves 1/16th of a full turn.
