Disassembling 2 piece wheels

I got a set of Carlsson 2/5 wheels that I want to take apart to clean. I tried going to Sears and getting a torx bit but none fit. I bought these used, so I'm not sure if the key to the screws were included. I tried emailing a few online stores that sell Carlsson, but none have replied yet. Any help in locating a key for me?

Thanks.

depends on the weather
that is a horribly bad idea .... the hardware is designed for 1 use only so you would need to find somebody to sell you all new hardware. Also that item you referred to as a "key" is a proprietary design which nobody, except Carlsson, has access to in order to prevent people from taking them apart.

I want to take them apart so I could clean them. I also am planning to get the outer rim fixed because of curb rash from the previous owner. The place I am going to take it too will charge extra if they have to disassemble it.
