Hey MBworld

I just started to sand down my wheels got one almost done lol took so damn long to remove all the curb rashes but well worth it. I will fix the rest of the huge rashes with bondo/jbweld lol

Im stuck tho.. i can't get these fake *** screws to come out they don't seem to twist i don't know if you can take them out anyways?? Does anyone else know??



Im still so stumped.. any1?

I thought sometimes they were glued in there... if so. you're up the creek.

Xhale707

I had the same rims.I got them refinished and my friend told me they are just glued on and with heat they would come out.I will visit him tom and get back to u with the info.

I don't know the manufacturer of those wheels. Some are glued in & some are pressed in & some even have reverse threads.

Brabus monoblock VI reps.. Blah i have to put my scuffed rims back on.. All you can eat sushi here i come!!!

I need more inputs!! along with what color to paint them. More help!! is needed

You might try masking them with something like grease. You might be able to paint the grease on with a small brush. Then after the paint drys, you can wipe off the grease.

Just a thought... Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Those are nice wheels. If you haven't sanded all over the faux screws just tape them up.

I know they are Brabus pattern but not who made them. I would spay them Hyper Silver. It actually has a hint of black toner in it.

Nah i haven't even touched the screws yet.. Right now im currently just sanding out all the nasty curb rashes.. & mounting marks from ****ty company's mounting my tires.


I've had so many ideas..

All black rims with gold screws.
All black rims With Silvers screws
All black rims silver screws red time attack stripe
Black and White rims with the face painted black
All blacked rims with silver screws and yellow stripe
Black Lip Black inner Gold face black screws

Im still thinking.. and i think my hand is broken from sanding

What color car do u have?

Xhale707

My car is black & soon to be blacked out. My tails are Tinted / Grille / side markers soon to be tint around the car 20%

Im thinking black with time attack

But the black with gold screws still has me confused

Xhale707

I was able to remove the screws.. I used a little mega pocket heat torch for about 3-5 seconds used plyers pulled up and twisted

heres what i did ill take a better picture soon with a digital cam




Black with a polished lip im still working on / car is very dirty just had it tinted

My wheels are matte black face with gloss black lips which I think looks real nice and have gotten countless compliments on them. Just a thought since the rest of your car is black on black already.

Xhale707

Thats a good idea!! you have no idea how long it took me to paint them like this.. Took me a good week to make up my mind.

I was going to do a black lip. But there are so many cars here with fully blacked rims with red lips. just seems overplayed around my town.

Also when the wheels spin the polished lips look so cool. Ive noticed a lot more ppl looking after i got my windows tint and rims painted.

Any pictures of your wheels btw?

BigBodyBenzC240

I had black with polished lips and it does look nice but I saw too many people with them and wanted to be different so I got rid of them and bought the Maya RT5s since they are rare and since I powdercoated them I wouldnt be like everyone else. My car is dirty right now but I can take some close ups of the wheels tonight when I get off work after I clean them up a bit.

Xhale707

I love it when ppl don't wanna take pictures of there car when its dirty =P

Can't wait I will take a close up of mine too heres something for now lol

Ill get my digital cam out soon
