I've got a set of '86 Porsche honeycomb wheels that need the centers coated gloss black and the outer lip polished and cleared. These are two piece wheels that are held together by 20 allen head bolts with nuts on the rear. I would like to disassemble them for a couple of reasons.
First the bolts and nuts are metal and surface rusted so I think it would be difficult to get them clean and coated. If I took them apart I can nickel plate the bolts before reassembly. Polishing and coating the outer rims would be very easy once disassembled.
Secondly the bolts and center rims stick out far enough that polishing the outer rim will be difficult.
Has anyone ever disassembled these type wheels for coating and do you think this is a good idea?
