    Hello all. New member here.
    I just bought a Fiero with Ferrari wheels. The seller didn’t have the tool to get the center cap off to reveal the lugs and obviously didn’t have the key to remove them. How am I supposed to get them off if I ever get a flat?
    Thanks

    I can assure you that despite the prancing horse logo on the center cap, they are not authentic Ferrari wheels. Raise the vehicle, turn the front wheels and check the inside of the wheel for any identifying information. Good luck.

    I think you use a screwdriver (in that little hole you see) and unscrew it and you can pop it off exposing your lugs. I had this set up (not the ferrari part) on my Fieros in the early 90's on the rims I had.

    I wasn’t sure they were real. The guy I just bought it from seemed kind of shady. Thank you for the heads up.

    Those look like Fittipaldi wheels circa 1991 +/- (I used to have them on my Nissan Sentra). If I'm correct the lock is just a threaded bolt. The tool on mine was just a round tool with an offset indexing pin that stuck in, and I just had to unscrew it. I would find a way to loosen it by using the proper tool, or a makeshift tool. If it's a makeshift tool that you can't repeatedly use, just replace the bolt with something that you can have a tool for.
    As others said, those are not Ferrari wheels.
    This O.Z. tool looks exactly the same as the tool that I had (maybe O.Z. was the parent company of Fittipaldi wheels?):
