Anyone can offer any advice on how to change the alloy wheels center badges? I just bought new ones but have no idea how to change them. Thanks.

easy, get the tinyist flathead screwdriver you cn find and it just pops out.. some people are going to tell you to take the wheel off and pop them out, but its not necessary.. i changed all 4 of mine once in about 5minutes. seriously its easy

You can also spin them around with your fingers so they are loose and then try duct tape over the face of the center cap and pull on both ends of the duct tape. It is easier to use a small screwdriver, but if you are paranoid about scratching your wheels it is worth a try.

they pop out pretty easy with a flathead screw driver like Mel said

If you don't want the old ones, just smash them with a hammer and pull out the little shards with needle-nose pliers.

Where did you buy the emblems from?

You can use suction cup. wet the surface with water, and press in firmly. with less air as possible, then just pull hard. may need few tries, but you save paint and plastic issue if you care about the badge and rim.
