Default center cap removal

I just purchased a 2002 V6 convertible for my son. Nice car, 96K miles. Some of the center caps are scuffed. Do I have to pull the tire off the vehicle or do they simply snap out? Also, looking for a good place to purchase some center caps, thanks!

The center caps are large and have five holes in them for the lugnuts. Can't find them anywhere; AM doesn't carry them.

Look for the center caps off of an 04, they look pretty good, but don't have the 5 holes, they are solid or have small holes running around the outside edge of the cap, will pop right in. ( he's talking about the large caps that cover the lugnuts on most of the new edge wheels.)

pics would help as the new edge v6 had two types of caps

those without exposed lugs and those with.
