Resurrection!

I know this is an old *** thread, but I just thought I would add to it for reference's sake.

You can just take the rivets out of the wheel. Odds are they are plastic, so even if they break, you lose one or whatever you can just buy more. I know this because I'm currently having my wheels painted and I had to order new chrome plated plastic rivets to go in after the powdercoat the wheels

Funny you bring up this old thread.Was just trying to figure this out myself earlier this week when decided I want to paint my amg replica wheels. Figured out you can just pull them out however, there is a good chance a few of them might break in the process. With that said.. where did you get the new set of rivets. Thanks in advanced..

I got the rivets from Prestige Wheel Accessories. 1-800-854-6770 www.prestigewheel.com

They should have any rivet you need.

most fake rivets on the replicas are still metal. just tape them up and paint the center if anyone's planning to do this.

I'm thinking the same thing. These wheels look the same like Chadski'sC350 I think and he had so many problems with cleaering his BBKs or smth

They look good tho

Lower the car at the same time?
