Default How to remove fake "rivits" to paint C6 Replicas?

I have a set of c6s that Im going to paint and polish up. Problem is those fake rivits. Is there a way to remove them without breaking them or can I buy new "rivits"

These wheels look nice on my Camaro, just needs a repaint and polish

I don't see how you could remove them without messing the wheel up. But maybe you can. Good luck with that.

when you say rivets you mean those imitation socket head cap screws? My solution was to just rip them all out and drill and tap for some real 6mm deep 8mmx1.0 stainless socket head cap screws
