the tire lug tool they gave u, the opposite end has like a wedge shape, pry it in there and pull. then throw the tool in the trash and use your fingers. or a flathead screwdriver will even work. do i smell a trim ring coming on???

Grab the hub cap with your fingers, behind/by the spokes, way out near the outer edge and give a yank. A couple times and it will come right off.
