We have a 2015 Sonic 170. It appears as though the lug nuts are decorative? Does anyone know how to remove them? Not sure whether they screw into the lug nuts or just snap on over the lug nuts. One of the covers appears loose, but unable to wiggle off or budge it with a socket.

Thanks for your help.

If your talking about the lug nuts with chrome caps. I replaced all of mine with solid lugs because a lot of the chrome caps got rounded off from air guns being used on them, some were swelled. I had to chisel off the chrome caps then use a half size smaller than normal to take the lug nut off. I purchased these

A picture of what you have would help. Venture just uses the cheapest thing they can find at that time, that will work. Our 2017 has solid lug nuts. To get the axle end cover off, I have to remove the wheel and the axle cover comes out the back of the wheel.
