new genesis center caps can snap in, old don't snap out?

Went to install my new center caps, but the old caps are adhered into place? do i have to cut out the center to snap the new caps in?

Think you bought the wrong cap.
You need a cap made for the 18" wheels. The "Wing" cap is the same size as the Hyundai cap.

This is what you need.

I just bought the replacement "waffle" with the Genesis wings on them. EZ-PZ.

Yup the ones you bought are for the 17" and 19" wheels. Not the 18s.

I appreciate all the information - my own ignorance with placing an order before confirming what is needed.
Though with some heat and delicate persuading, I was able to remove and swap the center metal caps. Took about an hour, but they are all done.

Interesting......

Did you have to break a glue bond on the old one, and glue the new one on??

Good work.

The old center caps were held on with the same adhesive as the rear emblem on the trunk - that grey 3M slightly foamy adhesive strips. I removed the old adhesive and used new. Luckily by heating the genesis caps the adhesive didn't remain stuck to the back and came off quite easily.
