the wheels will suck to clean, mainly because they're billet. when i DO go to clean them, i'll take them apart. those are real rivets holding pieces together, not just machined in there for looks.
Yes they do suck to clean, ive got a set of iforged aero's on my camaro. The rims have been real good to me the past couple of years minus the rivets started to have a little rust on them? I've always thought about trying to take them apart but have kinda been worried about messing them up. I sure wish I knew either how to clean the rust off the rivets or just buy a new set of rivets for my rims. Nice ride btw man sick build.

what are you guys talking about "rivits" ? those wheels aren't held together with a bolt/nut combo? anyway, multi-piece polished wheels are a pain to clean. CCW Classics here...on a DD
