Locate a drill bit that fits your centers wheel bolts and remove them. What else do you need to know? The outer and inner rim are also bonded together with glue.

E55 KEV great info from Tire Rack!

We use to do this all the time on our Porsches. You need to mark all the pieces before hand and replace all your wheel center bolts and glue the inner and outer to the center. Take them apart and have some one put them back together for you it's a real @#$%&$@! to do. Keeping them all marked helps balancing as well.

E55KEV, thank you for your response, but I think I figured the part of the right drill bit...and it is not Glue, it is silicone sealer...it is a little more involved , alignment is crucial, exact torque, and right sealant in very important. I did find some links regarding this work, you can check them out if you like:
