Im needing some help with restoring my wheels. The wheels in question are Southern Ways mesh 15-8.5 and 15-7.5. The rears are -10 offset...Anyway The are 3 peice wheels with the center bolting onto the outer polished wheel that is 2 peices. They are the same as the ones in this picture but the are gold center. http://jspec.com/southernways.html

The problem is I would like to take them apart so i can re-polish the rim with a buffer and repaint the centers, Then have the fastners cleaned and repainted the right flat black. I know to use a pattern to take them apart and put them back together and to use loctite on them. But what about the corerct tourqe on the bolts and is there naything else I should be concerned with if I do take them apart? BTW if you have anyinfo on these wheels let me know as I would like to know more about them like when they were made and factory colors other than black or gold and if someone has some center caps sitting somewhere...Thank you for you help

No advice, just letting you know how much I hate you that you have SW wheels and I don't. Nothing beats meshies!
