Axis MOD 19"........rivets removable? Silver or black wheel?
I am about to get a set of Axis MOD in 19 x 8" +45mm for my 2002 TL-P.
Does anyone know if the rivets on the wheels are removable? They need to be removable in order for me to paint them.
Next question is, I am about to repaint my TL, either white or black. What color combination do you guys think would look the best?
White body with silver wheel and polished lip?
White body with black wheel and poslihed lip?
White body with chrome wheel?
Black body with silver wheel and polished lip?
Black body with black wheel and polished lip?
Black body with chrome wheel?
Currently the mods i have in my TL are:
Tein SS with EDFC
Eibach sway bars
Comptech ICE box
DC header
underdrive pulley
OEM kit

Im pretty low, but youll def rub if you drop it down to the ground, youll have to cut the tabs and roll the fenders if you want to go low low. Im on Tein SS, right now ill rub the tab every once in a while. The rivets arent removable since they are a faux multipiece wheel

you can only remove the bolted center if is a true 3 piece rim. i know alot of rims comes with fake rivets making them looking like a real 3 piece rim. just turn around the wheel. you can tell right away if is a 2 piece or 1 piece wheel

The reason why I want to know if the rivets are removable is that when I repaint the wheels, I do not want to paint over the rivets.
Powder Coating won't work as I am only going to change the color of the spokes and not the lips of wheel.
Since the Axis MOD is a one piece wheel, I figured that they would mask off the lip before painting it black. It would be quite hard to mask off each individual rivets so I was thinking maybe the reviets are removable so they could paint the wheel and then install the rivets on the wheel.
You can see on the picture that only the spokes are painted black but not the lip and the rivets.
