Sorry I'm not following, I was asking about centerlock not center cap. To me, your post looks like it's still one or the other. Under my center cap there is a centerlock plus I have 5 lugs. Is that odd?

can you maybe post a photo of your wheel without the centre cap ?

The nut under the center cap is your axle hub nut, not a wheel center lock.

there is no center cap on a center lock wheel.
The intent of the photos was to show how exactly you’re confused about what a center lock wheel is, and that you don’t have one.
if you’ve removed the 5 lugs and it the wheel doesn’t come off it’s not because you also have center lock wheels.
Perhaps your car isn’t sufficiently suspended in the air to allow the tire to not stick to the pavement when you try and pull off the wheel?
When you do take the wheel off, apply a small amount of anti-seize paste to hub ring and hub pad. Do not get anti-seize on rotor or wheel bolts. This will prevent the wheel from seizing to the rotor next time around.
A small amount will suffice in the areas outlined below.

I also noticed your post about brake kits- guessing you need to get your wheels off for this reason. Thought I should point out that the brake discs/ rotors are each held on with 2 “screws” which are probably also corroded in place, and your rotors will not come off until you remove these. Not all types of cars have these so this might be your next stumbling block !( You might already know this info but in case it saves further angst… )

Centerlock and 5 lug
Kick the wheel or use a rubber mallet. It will come off. There is just corrosion between your wheel and the hub.
