Default ..next question - how to remove the wheels on the Minichamp 3 dr

Its the big 1/18 scale model and I think they are supposed to pop off - but anyone done it and am I right?? They seem stiff - is there a screw behind a cover or something maybe???

Help guys

Am I missing something as the centre cap doesn't look like it is separate??

Bump - they are really tight and don't appear to have a cover plate to pop off to find a screw?
