You CAREFULLY remove the embelem at the center by prying up very carefully on an edge (it pops right back in). It specifically advises against removing the pad in the shop manual on second-gen wheels (like on a 380), because of the risk of damaging the pad when removing/replacing it. If you screw up the embelem, it's inexpensive to replace (maybe $3.00 at perf products?).

Remember, the center bolt is REALLY tight, don't strip it, and DO NOT RELY on the steering lock to brace the wheel! Use your knees or have a friend help.
