Default Need Help Installing Wheels

Ok, so i got a set of Black 20" Foose Nitrous Wheels and was told i need to remove the brake clips from the car in order to install the wheels. Where exactly are the brake clips (what do they look like) and does anyone have a diagram of them?

Thanks.

when you take off the current wheel, you'll see a very thin washer on one of the studs for the front only. you cant miss it. just use a small pliers to pull it off

since your wheels are already going to be off the car, just check all 4 corners. if there's a clip on any of the wheel studs, as seen in the above picture, pull it off

In some cases there is more than one or none at all per wheel. Just use a pair of needlenose or whatever to pull, tear, rip them off the studs.
