You can get those things off easily. I've had many hub rings stick. All you need is a flat head screw driver, and a rubber mallet or hammer. Just be gentle, and don't use too much force. You could end up cracking the hub rings, if they are not metal.
i have plastic hub centric rings and i just used some needle nose or some clamps and pulled them off. grabbed them at the outer edge part of the hub centric straight on and pulled. had to use a bit of force but easy and doesnt damage anything.

deffinitley get them off before you put the oem wheels on! the hub-rings fill in the gap from you oem wheels, so, therefore...your wheel, will barley be hangiing on....like they sadi tho...use a flatheat, wrap in a cloth or something, and gently....gently hit it like a chisel.
