Do not wrench on the caps. The two caps with the dimples can be pulled off and then remove the jam nuts.

Besides the dimples, it's easy to find the real nuts on a wheel simulator by the sound made when tapping them lightly with a wrench or similar. It's more of a clank than a tunk like the fakes.

The real nuts are opposite each other.

Do you have simulators? If so, look for the simulated lug nuts with the dimples in the side. Those unscrew (there are 2 of them) and then you can take off the cover. You should have a "lug wrench" that fits those. I think they are 1 1/8" or something close to that size. The ones that do not have dimples in the side do not come off.

Likely two of the fake lug nut covers have small indents on them. Turn them counter-clockwise with your T-Handle wrench or you might need a 1 1/8 inch socket it someone way over tightened them.
