Hi Larry probably two of the nuts are "real" and hold on the trim. The best way to check is to move the nuts side to side by hand. Those that flex the stainless steel are the dummy ones and the ones that feel solid are the "real ones" that hold the trim on by screwing onto the exposed part of the thread above the original nuts.

There is a special tool to remove them, but this is at best a plastci coated socket. Find a socket that is the exact size, ensure that there is not grease or grit in the socket or on the "real" trim nut and you will be fine. The are not capable of being torqued up to the same as the original wheel nuts under the trim.

Hope this helps

Eddie
