I've just received a new set of wheel centre caps. Is there a trick to removing the ones currently in place or have I got to take the wheels off and push them out from the back?

I'm 99% sure you can just stab them with a screwdriver and pull them out that way.

Some have 2 small holes that you can get off with 2 pieces of bent wire, otherwise wheels off may be better than prizing out!

Quick search on youtube turned up this technique which looks like it'll be much easier than taking the wheels off

If you are going to bin the old ones, you could use a self-tapping screw to provide a yanking out point.
