Removing Center Piece Emblem on wheels? How??

Hey I am interested ( dont got no money, just curious) in buying the g35 coupe wheels. But I want to know if there is a way to remove the Infiniti emblem in the center. Its not exactly a center cap, just more of a center piece.
Have a look.

Just need to know if there is a way to remove it. I cant find no aftermarket similar rims like them so might as well go with the OEMS.

Anyone know any rims that look like the oem 18s on the g35 coupe?
THanks

I was wondering the same thing myself. I know these are 17 inch but check out this link. You can definitely get them out. I was wondering if the Nissan center caps might fit. If you find out let me know. I am trying to do something for my car and these are sharp.

Sorry I just realized they were for an I30. They are still pretty nice. I was looking at some others on ebay that were for a G35 that were 17 inch. I will try to find out if the caps can be replaced or how they look taken out.

The caps just pop out, but I'm not 100% sure if the Nissan ones will fit or not.

The caps just pop out but you can not remove the Infiniti emblem off the G35 center caps. You can replace them with 2k2 Maxima SE center caps. Same size and circumfrance. I have a few sets of SE center caps if you a guys are interested.

Thanks for the info. I will let you know if I find some of these wheels. I am following some auctions and keeping my eyes open.

I'm not too sure that the G35c wheels are Rays. Can anyone confirm this? Though I do know that the 17" G35 sedan and 18" flat spoke Z wheels are made by Rays Engineering.
