Wheel cap replacement

I found some replacement center wheel caps that I like. I have Maserati 20" wheel/tires, standard issue. Is there an easy way to swap out the center caps? Didn't want to break any clips, springs, etc. in doing so, and read somewhere that you may have to remove the wheel to replace properly from the inside.

Thanks,
Scott

Indeed, from past experience they are WAY easier to just pop out from the inside which means the wheel has to be off. Possible to do from the outside but with the risk of a scratch or a gouge around the edge. Using a fine plastic chisel type tool you should be able carefully pry them off. They're a press fit, so not held super tight. If you want to use a little leverage to pry against the wheel itself, put a strip of tape down first. I'm not familiar with any trick beyond this.
