Default CCW rims painted with plate dip

I paint the centers on my ccw wheels this last weekend, and i need to put them back together, from what ive read, i need to silicone the seem( bein a 3 piece rim) but i only took the centers out with the tire on. should i pull completely apart to do so, or just bolt back and hope they don't leak, also what should i torque them back down to.

I would def call CCW and ask them before doing anything else. Also, move that wheel weight to the inside of the wheel!! lol.

If you didn't take the tire off and cut the silicone that was already applied to the seam, you should be fine. In this case your wheels are more like 2 piece, as the face is on the front and not sandwiched between the barrel/lip.

Go to the CCW site. They have (or used to have) a video on how to disassemble/reassemble their wheels.

Just blow it apart and reseal it. And for gods sake, get that weight off the lip and get the stick on weights.
